Prescription Glasses

Need to replace my current set as they’re looking worse for wear and one of the lenses has now cracked.

I’ve found a site called mister spex which seems really slick but not heard of them. Has anyone used them before?

I’m probably going ray ban for as I like their frames, however can anyone recommend flexible/good sports frames for running? Found the main issue with my current ray band is salt build up.

They come from Germany and do take a while to arrive, about 3 weeks last time I used them. Took a while for any kind of order confirmation to come through as well IIRC.

Not heard of Mister Spex but I exclusively buy online now. Quality is the same but the cost is massively lower. Even the wait times tend to be similar with, say, Tesco opticians. Personally, I tend to use Glasses Direct and Speecy4eyes though.

I got my current pair from theglassescompany (rayban RX7017) took about 2 weeks.

So from research they are meant to be very good. I’ve ordered four pairs as part of the trial they do :-)

Is it just me or does this happen to anyone else? Every time I buy prescription glasses from an online place they always arrive bent out of shape therefore they never fit probably and always require adjustment. Is this normal?

I ordered my current pair from glasses direct.

first pair turned up damaged but i watched the delivery driver throw them over the gate (cctv) so not their fault in the slightest, replaced no questions asked. And replacements have been faultless

designer specs (raybans) with proper transition lenses still worked out cheaper than bog standard glasses from the opticians. Will def be using them going forward.

I don't mean like damaged from delivery, I just mean they don't usually fit correctly and if you lay them open on a table they rock due to not being straight etc. Even when they have arrived in a hard case.
