I completely understand because I have the same problem. Its frustrating to wait excitedly for your new glasses only to be disappointed in how they 'look',
I bet I've ordered close to a dozen pair since last summer and only have two pair that I liked well enough to keep - one pair from EBD I love (and really didn't expect to), and a pair from Global that are a good back-up. But the returns are pretty simple for the most part, and I've never paid more than $40 a pair (and most were only half that) so even with a partial refund the financial loss has been minimal. And I love to 'shop' anyway so I'm still having fun with this and intend to order at least 2 - 3 more pair very soon. I would agree with others who have said to pay particular attention to the TOTAL WIDTH of the frame, with that being an important measurement to get 'right' if you want to improve your chances of finding a frame that wins your final approval. I also found it extremely helpful to try on frames at my optometrist's office while I waited for my son as he had his routine exam a few weeks ago :) On Jan 6, 2:02 am, bb <[email protected]> wrote: > I don't know exactly what it is about my face that makes most glasses > look bad, but whatever it is, it's not going away.
