The site has so many options in comparison to Big name optical stores. I was able to figure out what i wanted and at a more reasonable price without any discounts and still ended up saving more than in store with Lenscrafters with discounts for the prescription reading glasses. Easy to order and fast delivery. Very happy with my glasses.

Scam - Worst Experience
This was one of the worst experiences I've ever had as a consumer. I purchased PRESCRIPTION sunglasses through the prescription sunglasses page, I entered my script, etc. I was pretty sure I got scammed, I never got any email, any confirmation of shipping, NOTHING. I finally reached out and got a tracking number, the glasses showed up and the sunglasses showed up with the sunglass (tinted) lens popped out, laying on top of one another, scratched. There was my prescription in regular clear lenses installed in the SUNGLASSES. Confused, I reached out and they told me I didn't pay for tinting on the SUNGLASSES.
Absolutely, mind blown, the most ridiculous excuse I've ever heard - you should post that you're selling lenses not actual sunglasses.
I had to pay an additional amount to get them tinted. I paid to ship them back, I paid for the tinting AND paid for shipping again.
No label was created for me, I paid for all of that out of pocket, for their mistake. Worst experience I've ever had, I would never recommend this company to anyone - I guess you get what you pay for.

We’re sorry to hear about your experience, but we want to clarify how our prescription sunglasses process works so future customers understand.
When ordering prescription sunglasses, our system allows you to select any tint color, including matching the original sunglass tint. If no tint is selected, the prescription lenses are made clear by default. Before checkout, you must acknowledge and confirm this step — you cannot complete the order until confirming that clear lenses will be provided if no tint is chosen.
What you received were your custom prescription lenses installed in the frame, along with the original tinted lenses packaged separately. We ship both so you can switch back to the manufacturer’s original lenses anytime.
In this case, no tint was chosen at checkout, which is why the lenses arrived as clear. Any tinting service afterward requires an additional fee, since it wasn’t part of the original order.
We want to reassure all customers:
Our system is fully transparent and requires confirmation before purchase.
Both prescription and original lenses are always included.
We never withhold information or change an order — you receive exactly what is confirmed during checkout.
We understand the disappointment, but this was not a scam or mistake — it was how the custom order was submitted and confirmed

My kids broke the frame of my glasses…
My kids broke the frame of my glasses and a replacement from where I got them from was $275. I was able to get the same glasses from DesignerOptics for $90 after taxes and shipping. From the moment of ordering to the moment of receiving (From New York to Ohio), it was about a week. I was able to pop in the lenses myself with the help of a blow dryer. This was actually the second order I placed with them. The first order was made by mistake and customer service was helpful in canceling that. I'd buy from them again.

Horrible quality and the YSL sunglasses…
Horrible quality and the YSL sunglasses I was sent look counterfeit. Trying to return and no one’s emailing me back.

We take these concerns very seriously. You contacted us Friday afternoon, and since our office is closed on weekends, we were unable to reply until today. Our team has already emailed you several times today to assist with your return.
Designer Optics sells only 100% authentic products, including YSL, and we stand firmly behind this. With thousands of satisfied customers, our track record speaks for itself. We will continue working with you directly to resolve this matter.

Excellent
Easy to order and delivered within a week. Product even better than I expected (as the sunglasses are polarized).
