Whether or not you decide that expensive glasses are worth the cost depends on a multitude of factors, including your budget, your style, or whether you need add-ons (such as lens thinning or anti-glare). Whether expensive glasses frames are worth it compared to expensive lenses is a different story. Ultimately, your choices will depend on your unique circumstances, but rest assured there are always experts at hand to guide you if need be.
Are Expensive Glasses Frames Really Worth It?
When it comes to glasses frames, you’re more likely to be paying a premium for designer styles. This doesn’t necessarily guarantee quality over cheaper frames, but for many it’s a question of fashion sense and making a statement.
While cheaper plastic or metal frames are often perfectly fine for frequent glasses-wearers, the high end brands can sometimes use more durable materials that will be more beneficial to those who wear glasses permanently, or lead more active lifestyles. You may also prefer a more expensive standard of craftsmanship, but this isn’t to say that you are guaranteed a higher level of comfort than cheaper styles.
Here at The Bromley Eye Centre we stock a range of designer brands including Gucci, Chanel, Oakley, and Tom Ford.
Are Expensive Lenses Really Worth It?
In many cases, it will be worth paying the extra costs to receive lenses that are the most comfortable to wear. If your prescription means your lenses are thick, it is worth paying to have them thinned to avoid the extra weight. Anti-glare may also be worth having for those who work at computer screens, to limit reflections and reduce discomfort over time.
You can also opt for additional features such as blue light filtering or scratch resistance, and a member of our team will be able to advise you on what is worth having after hearing about your individual circumstances.
In conclusion, there are various factors which can determine whether an expensive pair of glasses is worth it, and a lot of it is down to personal circumstances. The Bromley Eye Centre offers a friendly, individual service and can assist you in choosing the perfect pair of glasses. Contact us today on 020 8466 8333.
