I've wasted so much money on bad reading glasses. I probably spent close to $100 and countless hours searching for a decent pair. Finding the right pair of the lightest reading glasses shouldn't be this hard!
I kept buying the cheapest reading glasses I could find. I thought, "They're just readers, how bad can they be?" Turns out, pretty bad. The frames would break easily, the lenses would scratch, and they were just plain uncomfortable. It always seemed that the super cheap glasses became useless after a short period of time.
It’s like the saying goes, “You get what you pay for”. I was essentially throwing money away every few weeks.
Verdict: Avoid super cheap reading glasses, even if the price is tempting. They're not worth it in the long run.
So many companies promise the "lightest reading glasses" or the "most durable frames." I fell for it every time! I read a review that said "best glasses ever" but when I tried them, the lenses were distorted and the frame was very heavy. It’s hard to know who to trust online.
I learned the hard way that catchy slogans and unbelievable claims aren't always true.
Verdict: Don't believe everything you read in advertisements. Look for genuine user reviews and photos.
I would see a pair of reading glasses on sale and buy them instantly. I didn't bother to read reviews, compare prices, or check the materials. A bit more research would have saved so much time. I wish I spent more time comparing different options before buying.
