I've always been a bit hesitant to buy glasses online. It felt like such a personal thing, needing to try them on and make sure they fit just right. But, like many, I was drawn in by the promise of cheaper prices. After needing a new pair after my eye exam, I decided to take the plunge and explore online options, specifically hearing a lot about Zeelool. Was it too good to be true? Was Zeelool legit? Here’s my experience.
The biggest question I had was, "Are these online glasses companies actually legit?" I mean, they exist, sure. They ship glasses. But are the glasses any good? Do they meet industry standards? That's what I wanted to know. It felt like I was gambling on whether the final product would actually work for my prescription.
I also worried about choosing frames without seeing them in person. Virtual try-on tools are okay, but they're not the same as actually feeling the frames on your face. It’s hard to truly gauge how they'll look and fit.
I decided to order a few pairs from Zeelool to really test them out. The first thing I noticed was the price. It was significantly cheaper than what I was used to paying at my local optometrist. That was definitely a plus!
However, I did run into a snag when I tried to order progressive lenses. The glasses themselves looked great, and they felt well-made, but the progressive lenses were a disaster. I ended up wasting money on that part. I'm hoping I can reuse the frames with better lenses from somewhere else. This made me realize that while Zeelool might be good for single-vision lenses, more complex prescriptions could be tricky.
On the other hand, I also ordered a couple of pairs with simpler prescriptions and high index lenses as I have a strong prescription. These turned out great! I've been wearing them regularly, and I'm happy with the quality for the price.
One thing I did notice is that the plastic frames seemed a bit cheap. I bought a few pairs, and unfortunately, all of them broke relatively quickly. If you're considering Zeelool, I'd recommend looking at their metal frames. They might be more durable.
I get compliments on my glasses all the time from both Zenni and Zeelool. The selection is great and the lenses are strong. My Zeelool pairs are often more fun and funky. I tend to wear those more often, but it's really just based on my personal style.
Because of my age, I've started needing help with both reading and computer work. So, I did some research and found a great product for this. I decided to try the Men Bifocal Reading Glasses Far Near Anti Blue Light Computer Glasses Women Square Full Frame UV Protection Business Eyeglasses +300-Bifocal. These are perfect for switching between looking at my screen and reading documents. The anti-blue light feature is great for reducing eye strain during long work sessions. The square full frame is stylish and professional, which is important for me. I can see both far and near clearly with these, making them incredibly versatile. I would definitely recommend them if you need help with both reading and computer use.
