A dramatic discount can be a good deal. It can also steer your attention toward the wrong number. First ask exactly what the displayed price includes.

Here is a fictional calculation, not an actual offer: a $30 frame, $60 lenses, $25 selected options and $8 shipping total $123 before tax. A $110 offer including the same components and shipping would be lower before tax. The advertised percentage does not settle the comparison.

Use a few rows: frame, lenses for your prescription, necessary options, chosen extras, shipping, tax and returns. Note every component change between retailers. A cheap frame does not guarantee a cheap complete order.

Consider the cost of a mistake. Can you return it? Who pays shipping? Are customized lenses excluded? What happens if you need an adjustment? Read the current terms for your specific order, rather than treating a broad warranty headline as a promise about your purchase.

We like an offer that survives a calculator. We do not recommend a retailer based on banner size or potential commission. Our current shopping links are direct and do not earn LentesYa a commission.
