In this video, Dr. Allen discusses the pros and cons of buying prescription glasses online versus in-store. He highlights that online glasses tend to be cheaper compared to in-store options, with prices ranging from $10 to $700. However, accuracy can be a concern when buying online, although Dr. Allen's experience with various brands has found most to be accurate. When it comes to quality, in-store glasses generally have a higher build and durability, but some online brands can offer good quality frames. The quality of lenses is usually better with in-store glasses, with options for specialty lenses and coatings. The purchasing experience and services differ between online and in-store options, with online offering more choices but lacking the ability to try on frames and receive personalized assistance. In-store shops provide access to trained opticians who can help find frames and lenses that best suit individual needs, taking into account prescription, comfort, and style preferences. Overall, if saving money is a top priority, buying glasses online can be a viable option, but for a more personalized and comprehensive experience, purchasing from a local store is recommended. #glasses #prescription #onlinevsinstore #accuracy #quality.
