The optometrist recommended seamless bifocals. I have a very painful nerve condition in my face (atypical trigeminal neuralgia), so this is what I need with glasses: the lightest weight frames possible- known as ultra light- with the lightest weight lenses possible and automatically darkening lenses so I don't need the weight of sunglasses. The cheapest frames brought the total to $250 on the site the insurance worked with.

The frames are $20 on the cheap site. Everything else in the cost is the lenses.

As for why I have to buy them online- I don't want anyone touching my face unless it's absolutely necessary. The exam was painful enough.

American for-profit healthcare is fucking awesome.

No they're fucking not

Nice source. Yes, they are.

Survivorship bias, and you just noted you don't wear them

Holy shit dude, anymore. They survived 6 years of wearing. I've been using glasses off the internet for over 10 years as have 3 other people I know, it's not survivorship bias if over 10 pairs of glasses haven't had any of these issues you mention.

This point is attempting to imply there is no difference in products, which there absolutely is.

You're right, the brand name glasses I used to wear have never lasted as long as my Zennis

I'm glad you watched a video once

Or I've ordered them and wear them regularly. Nice assumption though.

but this is my profession

So you're incentivized to keep the bullshit going? Well, I should definitely trust you!

and I know better than you.

Clearly not, as you said a bunch of shit would happen with these glasses that, again, I've never seen despite my and my wife both having our entire family order glasses online for the last 8-12 years (mine 12, hers 8ish). Oh, and friends as well for about the same amount of time.

If you can't tell the difference in quality between zenni and OvvO, lool, or paradigm frames, you're willfully ignorant. I wouldn't expect someone who only gets glasses online to know this since you have no experience. I however do.

As for issues with lenses, I see 25 patients a day, and have for the last 12 years. I've seen a few more cases than you and your wife, or even you and your friends.

Your opinions are not equal to my education and experience. I am literally an authority in this industry.

I've designed frames and vetted manufacturing plants to find one that fit my standards for materials. I make lenses everyday. I troubleshoot and fix or replace eyewear everyday. I know what happens when a focal point is off center by 3 mm. I can tell when someone is wearing online glasses just by how the temples fit.

There are a few very large companies that benefit greatly from pushing the idea that they're all the same, and you're shilling for them whether you know it or not.

What part about "none of my online glasses have been any worse than the designer frames I got before" did you not read?

Keep telling yourself that. So far you've only been a high on your own farts cunt spouting total bullshit. Frankly with how little of anything you've given but "but but but but I'm such a PROFESSIONAL" ive begun to think you're a LARPing 13 year old
