Review: Muskegon Oval Glasses

I’ve needed to wear prescription glasses for almost 24 years now (basically since I was 4 years old!) Over the years, I’ve noticed that glasses have transformed into a uber cool fashion statement but it hasn’t always been that way… Bold frames are now in fashion and rocking that geek chic look is likely to gain you a few admirers!

My old glasses were starting to look a little worse for wear and although I was due to get a new pair back in February, I forgot to book an appointment! I was happy when GlassesShop.com reached out to me and offered me the chance to order a pair of glasses frames from their online store to review. I always purchase my glasses from the high street so this was a completely new experience for me.

Choosing a pair of glasses was easy and I found exactly what I was looking for within 10 minutes. The website easy to browse and there’s a good variety of styles to choose from including prescription sunglasses.

The glasses that I settled on having were the Muskegon Oval in blue. I chose these because I wanted statement full frames in a bold colour and I also liked the subtle detailing on the arms. They have soft, flexible nose pads which I find more comfortable than the fixed plastic styles.

Ordering Prescription Lenses

After choosing my frames, the next step was to give my prescription details. I found all the information I needed on my most recent eye test record card. And then finally, I just had to measure my Pupillary Distance (PD). This sounds scary but it was actually very easy and there was a helpful set of instructions to follow. I enlisted my partner to help and basically he just measured the distance between my two pupils in millimetres with a ruler! I confirmed all of my details and then waited for my new glasses to arrive.

And then they arrived…

It only took about two weeks in total which I think is pretty awesome considering that my prescription lenses needed fitting within that time too! They arrived safely and well packaged with bubble wrap,  a case and cleaning cloth. They looked great and when I tried them on, they were a perfect fit!

These glasses feel sturdy and well made. They are light weight and comfortable to wear. In fact, these full frame glasses are lighter than my designer half frame glasses. And I really can’t detect any loss of quality for the lightweight comfort either!

 

GlassesShop.com have provided me with a great service and a great product. All for far less than the usual cost on the high street!
