Let me start by saying I would definitely buy from EyeBuyDirect again.
This was my first time buying glasses online and I really put some time into making sure that the St. Michel frames were what I was looking for. I encourage everyone to try on glasses in person at an eyewear store so you know what shapes, frame sizes, lens heights, etc. actually look good on your face (mock-up images can only go so far), and take note of their measurements, so you have a better vote of confidence on what to pick from an online selection.
I’m really glad I chose these frames in a size small because as you can see from the pictures I uploaded, the frames will be larger on your face (right) than the mock-up image (left) — this was something I anticipated from reading other reviews and am glad I paid attention to them. I did have to adjust the frame/arms/nose pads a bit, but my temple length happens to be shorter than most glasses are set to so I expected this.
When I first put on these glasses, the prescription definitely felt weird, but there are so many factors involved in adjusting to a new prescription (even though my new prescription barely changed from my last), especially if the frames the lenses are set in are markedly different from what you’ve been wearing for the past x years—I went from narrow rectangular acetate frames to these large round metal frames.
I did experience a headache (partially due to the arms being a little snugger than was comfortable but this was easily corrected once I realized) for a few days, but at this point I’ve been wearing them for a week and they are noticeably more comfortable.
My order was placed on a Tuesday, shipped the next Monday (6 days), and delivered that Friday (4 days after shipping). From ordering to delivery, it took 10 days.
