What Gets Covered

Online eyewear and contact lens retailers: frames, prescription lenses, dailies, monthlies, prescription sunglasses. Out of scope: LASIK, refractive surgery, eye drop medications, blue light filter apps, optometrist locators, and any content that functions as medical advice. Prescription accuracy is between you and your optometrist; this site does not weigh in on that.

How Orders Become Reviews

The entry into the archive is the order confirmation, not the product page. From there the log tracks the listed delivery window, the actual ship date, what the listing showed for lens specifications, and what the mailer contained. For frame orders, listed measurements (bridge, lens width, temple length) get compared against what arrived. For contact lens orders, the box labeling goes up against the prescription entered at checkout, which is where most discrepancies appear.

Progressive and high-index orders get a longer observation window before anything is published. A progressive that causes strain in the first week sometimes settles; one that still causes problems at four weeks is worth writing up differently. The review notes which phase it reflects.

Refund and correction cases get timestamped log entries. If a shop resolves a dispute quickly and cleanly, that goes in the record. If resolution involves multiple contacts and drags past a week, that goes in too. Published reviews that change after the fact get an update date and a note on what changed.

Affiliate Links

Some links here are affiliate links. When you click one and place an order, I earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. The commission structure does not determine which shops get covered or how. A shop that paid out on a frame order that arrived with the wrong PD still gets the wrong-PD note.

Sponsored Content

None currently. If that changes, any sponsored post will carry a label at the top of the page saying so.

Updates and Corrections

Shops adjust pricing and policies regularly. If something here is stale or wrong, the contact page is the right way to flag it. Factual corrections get published with an update date; price estimates get periodic refreshes without a separate annotation since those numbers shift constantly.
