- Product selection: I'm very particular about eyewear. I own 50+ pairs of glasses in a variety of colors & styles, yet none compare to my favorite vintage cat eyes that I broke 5+ yrs ago. Since then, I've spent endless hours searching for an identical pair with precise lens/frame measurements, color & transparency as those damn cats. You can imagine my delight when I stumbled upon the huge collection of bold frames from Black Eyewear... it's like Zenni Optical in terms of selection quantity, but rather than cheap & generic styles, Black Eyewear offers unique frames of far superior quality & like 20 color options per product. It's like I died & went to eyewear heaven.
- Service: I live in the US & was a bit hesitant to order non-refundable RX glasses without being able to try them on. I must have exchanged about 10 emails with customer support before I felt comfortable enough to order. Most notably was Grace who went out of her way to provide precise & additional frame measurements to help me find the perfect pair. She went the extra mile by taking side x side pics of multiple frames to compare differences in height & how natural sunlight affects color vibrancy & opaqueness. I know, super picky, right? I must have been a nightmare to deal with, but Grace & the team provided superb customer service which makes all the difference when ordering abroad.
- Shipping: I received my frames within 7 business days (much faster than I expected since I live in NYC). Grace was also very helpful in providing a custom invoice, itemizing the lenses and frames so there would be no issues with reimbursement from my insurance company.
- Overall experience: I don't often take time to write reviews like this, but I can honestly say this has been the best experience I've ever had with vision services, and these stylish Abbey frames are everything I could have hoped for & more! read more
