Alternatively, she said, if I didn't like the glasses I could return them and they'd give me a full refund or I could go for a different frame. She said they did that as standard - although that isn't clear from their website.
I was happy for her just to send me the glasses and I love them, so no problem. But she was very friendly and helpful so it would be worth giving them a ring and see what they say.
Richardyorkshire - I was going to go for a pair of Optilabs specs called the Eclipse, which is quite wrap-around in style. I wondered if you had problems with the vision out of your specs? My main concern is that with my fairly high strength prescription (similar to yours), the lenses would be too physically close to the eyes, making the lenses too strong. Also I was worried about the severe wrap-around design would give distorted peripheral vision. Your experiences?
