How to buy glasses online: A comparison review of Glasses.com, Warby Parker and DBVision.com (Part 5)

This is Part 5 of my multipart review How to buy glasses online. I have already posted my reviews of DB Vision, Warby Parker and Glasses.com. This recap and summary is my final post which completes the series.

So far I have introduced the predicament of buying glasses with high index lenses in a monopolized glasses market, and reviewed my online shopping experience at three web-based optical retailers: DB Vision, Warby Parker and Glasses.com. Along the way I have attempted to provide objective reviews of these retailers based on my personal experiences as well as advice for anyone considering buying high index glasses online.

Review summary

For this post, I intended to rank my three purchases and pick my standout favorite. That turned out to be more difficult than I thought. Instead, I'll finish with a brief summary and the pros and cons of each pair. This will supplement my earlier reviews now that I have had the time to wear each pair for a longer period.

How to buy glasses online (Part 4): DB Vision

This is Part 4 of my multipart review How to buy glasses online. I have already posted my review of Warby Parker and Glasses.com. This is the third and final review to complete my comparison, and will be followed by a recap and summary post in Part 5.

DB Digital Balance – DBVision.com

Each of the companies reviewed in this series stand out from the crowd for one reason or another: Glasses.com for its branding and designer frames. Warby Parker for its soaring popularity and media coverage. DB Vision also caught my eye for some exceptional reasons. It is probably the most unique in terms of the product (digital lenses) and shopping experience (online or via kiosk in select locations). DB may be the least well-known, but hopefully this review will change that.
