Over recent years there has been a tremendous growth curve in online shopping. While many more consumers are enjoying the benefits e-commerce is bringing to the everyday shopper, there are continuously more fields and industries adding their weight behind the trend. One of the fields which joined the force more recently is optical care. Yet, while according to Forbes a mere 4% of all glasses ordered in one year in the US was through online shopping during 2017, this percentage has shown tremendous growth since then on a global scale.

“Yes, there would always be some cons to shopping for glasses online. For starters, when you shop for varifocal prescription glasses online, you must be very precise when placing your order. A process which users might feel is easier when simply going to their local optometrist. But when our clients follow the guidelines we provide, this should not be of any concern and they can enjoy an array of benefits which can make a huge difference to your budget to name only one favourable feature of online shopping for prescription eyewear,” says Dinesh Kanzaria, the marketing director to the reputable name, The Glasses Company.

Some of the other benefits which their clients indulge in are ease of shopping they offer on their elegantly designed user-friendly platform. It is a secure environment where users can make their payments with peace of mind. The platform also offers an immense variety of options of the most exquisite designer frames. “One of the many beauties of online shopping is that you can peruse these shelves during any time you so desire, taking your time to make the choice perfectly suited for your needs and in the comfort of your home,” Kanzaria further expands.

Another outstanding attribute is pricing. It is simply not possible for a brick-and-mortar optometrist to offer the same array of designer frames at the competitive pricing users enjoy when they opt for online shopping. The running costs of an online store are far less than that of a physical premise as the rent is much lower and the premises requires less staff, bringing fewer wages. These savings in running costs is the reason online stores can offer premium products such as designer frames for your varifocal lenses at much less than your local optometrist.

“There are always pros and cons to any matter and in the end, it remains the client’s choice, what they want and what they can adapt to,” Kanzaria leaves a final thought.
