I did some research before buying but not a lot. I have long haul Covid and have light sensitivity. I wanted wrap around frames. My doctor wouldn’t do it. Walmart wouldn’t do it. My prescription is so strong they said the curve in the lenses would make it feel like I’m in a fish bowl.
They did say I could try to just have them made for distance- not being a progressive lens.
The cost even with my insurance was over $200. For 1 pair of glasses that I may not be happy with. I can’t afford to spend that kind of money on a gamble.
So I searched- I found Optical Factor. I liked the frames better than what I seen in stores.
The price was unbelievable. Too good to be true.
For THAT I could afford to gamble!!!
I ordered the Zyon Tactical black & white color frames with Mercury lenses.
A strong +5 progressive lens prescription.
Then the tracking info came… from China.
My heart sank. I was like Oh $#it! It’s gonna be cheap flimsy plastic. It’s gonna be a disaster. I started searching online then I found a slew of bad reviews. Nightmare stories.
So I tested the water and emailed Optocal Factor support just asking a random question. Hey I just ordered these from you a few days ago. Do they come with a case? I got an email back. Yes. I was already doing better than some of the reviews I read.
It did take about 2 weeks. I’m not good at waiting.
People will forget to say They had a great experience!!
It’s a fact.
But no one forgets to talk when they are less than happy.
My glasses came!!!
(Drumroll) I opened the box.
The case was super nice - hard zipper case.
Open the case and they looked better in person than on the website! Not flimsy cheap plastic. You can feel the weight.
The lenses are beautiful. So far I’m happy with what I see.
Put them on face NO FISH BOWL! They fit great. They don’t slide down. They block light. I FREAKING LOVE THEM!!! I can see!!! Up close and far away!! I can read with them and drive. I’m whole again!!! They are my favorite!
I will not spend hundreds of dollars at the eye doctor or box stores on glasses ever again!
My experience with Optical Factor was EXCELLENT.
My only wish and it’s because of light sensitivity
I wish the lenses were a little darker. But I did choose Mercury not black.
I will absolutely order again!!
Within seconds of being exposed to sun light the lenses begin to change. So easy on your eyes. Love the glasses
Everyday that I wear these glasses I get compliments! They are so artsy and fun! The prescription is correct and fit good. The wait was maybe 3 weeks but so worth it! I love them!
Very glad to have these, i require safety glasses for work but didnt want to spend a fortune on work glasses bound to get broken these are perfect and the price price was excellent
Love wearing them. Fit well. Very clear vision. A fraction of the price of US-made glasses. Shipping a bit slow, but worth the wait.
They work really well, nice and comfortable and great for work.
Very pleased with frames and lens choices well wrapped fast filling of orders
I love them and get a lot of compliments, but they're a little tight on my temples.
These are great glasses and I really like them and their style is great as well.
I chose these for the multi-colored frames. They look great. I wear them only to look cool.
I tried them out for one white water trip and I am happy. They are comfortable, fast reacting to the change in sun light and stayed on when I went for a swim. The strap didn’t bother under the helmet.
They work just fine and I'm in the automotive field so I'm very rough on glasses.
I was nervous ordering online. My perscription lenses were perfect and the frames are very comfortable. I am very satisfied and would recommend to others looking for affordable glasses.
Great deal ! Good fit. And a happy surprise; it comes with a nose padding and a short elastic strap.
Love the cycling glasses and the prescription lens do a decent job in case they are needed.
I was skeptical at first but I’m glad I ordered my prescription sun glasses from Optical Factor. They arrived in a timely manner. They look great and my prescription was done correctly. Thank you O. F. for my new pair of glasses!
The look the feel the fit. Love them , thanks optical factor. Would definitely recommend.
