There are certain expectations attached to the task of buying new glasses or sunglasses, especially when the pair in question require prescription lenses. Generally, shoppers avoid the cheap sunglasses shop, and go straight to the registered opticians where the highest quality can be expected. The only real problem with this policy is the time and money spent in finding the pair that one needs and, indeed, likes. Prescription glasses are considered investments by most people, not only because the best cost a bit extra, but because they are usually used for practical purposes. The lenses must provide a proper solution to sight deficiencies, while the frames must be strong and, preferably, stylish too. The best brand names can provide both of these, with holiday goers opting for established names like Prada sunglasses, and more youthful shoppers often opting for newer generation brand names, such as animal glasses. Indeed, there is generally a ceremony involved in the whole transaction, with most people visiting several opticians and trying on dozens of pairs before finding what they desire, at the best price they can find. The problem is that not everyone can find what they want very quickly, and many high street opticians charge prices that may seem unnecessarily high. Nowadays, however, online shopping is taking over, breaking the ceremony and making life a whole lot easier. This in itself may seem strange given that the ultimate need when it comes to glasses is that they fit, and one cannot try glasses on when purchasing over the internet. But the truth is that every pair has a size and for any online store selling glasses or sunglasses, this information is a perfect indication that it will fit the purchaser. When it comes to prescription lenses for the frames, all that is needed a scanned copy of a sight test prescription. Once the store has this, then they can simply assemble the lenses and the desired frames together and send the pair to the buyer by post. However, as simple as this all is, there are three other key advantages to opting for the online purchase. Shopping Experience is Made Easier The first advantage is pretty obvious, with the whole shopping experience made so much easier. As mentioned above, traditionally, one would have to get into town, paying either for a taxi or for parking, and then traipse between individual opticians looking for the pair of glasses that is the design and price desired. Even before the pair is found, money and time has been spent on the journey. By purchasing online, no travelling is necessary and therefore there are no public transport fares or parking charges. Not sore feet either. Range of Options It may seem that the range of glasses to choose from is huge in a shop, and this can be true. However, because there is no limit to space on a website, the range offered by an online store can be much greater. Opticians on the high street may have as many as 150 different brand names and designs in stock, but a website can have 1,000 of designs. And because they have a bulk supply of glasses at their warehouse, they will rarely be out of stock. The range, therefore, is not only the biggest that can be had, but also almost certain to be in stock always. Better Prices The chief advantage from a consumer point of view is the low price on even designer sunglasses. There are two reasons that make this possible. Firstly, overheads are very low and, secondly, online stores usually order in bulk. The overheads are only a fraction of those of a high street shop, with no rent on a shop front, no lighting bills, heating bills, few staff and none of the other costs usually involved. Their warehouse facility can stock many times what could be stocked in a store, allowing for the bulk supplies to be housed cheaply. Even distribution costs are lower because the postal service is used. These are just three of the many advantages of buying glasses and sunglasses online. While a dedicated sunglasses shop can offer expertise in one area of the market, with designer products like, ray ban, Armani, Oakley and Prada sunglasses, and high street opticians can offer regular glasses range from more of the best brands, like Carrera, bench and animal glasses, neither can offer the complete package.
