Many times I avoided a bad purchase just by reading a few careful comments. When every picture has different colors or extreme filters, it is usually a bad sign. It is always difficult to know which website is really trustworthy before you place an order. The main things I look at for glasses are frame weight, hinge quality and lens coating. Sometimes I do not mind waiting longer if the price is fair and the quality is solid.
If anyone is interested in real user experiences, I sometimes write short notes about the shops I test.

A simple and honest answer like 鈥渨e do not have that option鈥?is better than marketing fluff. I also started paying attention to how websites display sizing charts for clothing. In the end it is all about finding what matches your own habits and lifestyle. People who share height and weight information make it easier to choose the right size. For light summer tops I keep to my normal size to avoid a baggy look. I try to balance my budget between basic everyday items and a few special pieces. I also check if the store explains how to measure PD and frame size clearly.
Maybe this is useful for someone.
