Don't buy new reading glasses before you read this comparison. I made a huge mistake that cost me time, money, and a major headache. I am writing this to save you the trouble.
I need to be honest. I bought progressive reader sunglasses from a random site, Site X, and I was seriously disappointed. It was a complete disaster. They looked great in the photos. But when they arrived, the quality was awful.
The lenses were the biggest problem. Progressive lenses should let you see far away, intermediate, and up close smoothly. But these cheap ones made me dizzy. I felt sick just trying to read a menu outside. They promised clear vision, but I could barely drive while wearing them.
When I tried to ask for help, I got nothing. I emailed them four times. They sent back one automated reply telling me to read the FAQ. They offer zero real support. If you buy cheap, you assume the risk that everything breaks and no one helps you fix it.
Verdict: Super cheap equals terrible quality and non-existent help. If the company does not promise easy fixes, you will lose your money fast.
After that disaster, I almost gave up on buying glasses online. I wasted fifty dollars and got nothing but nausea. I thought, maybe I just have to go back to the expensive optical shop every time.
But I really hate spending $400 for a pair of sunglasses I just use for reading on the porch. I needed a better deal. I needed a reliable pair of progressive reader sunglasses that actually worked, especially since I needed the polarized feature for driving.
A coworker recommended Mozaer. I was extremely skeptical. I thought, "Here we go again." But I checked out their specific deal: the 3Pcs Comfortable Wooden Squared Frame set. It came with the readers, polarized outdoor sunglasses, and a clip-on. The price felt fair—not suspiciously cheap, but definitely affordable.
When my Mozaer glasses arrived, the difference was truly night and day. The quality of the wooden frames felt solid. They didn't feel like they would snap the first time I sat on them.
More important than the frame, the service was unbelievable. This is where you learn what a good company does. I had a minor issue with the fit—they were sliding down my nose slightly. I stopped in to have my glasses adjusted, and the optician was friendly and very helpful. She fixed my frames, checked the fit, and I was out in 10 minutes. No appointment needed. That is fast service.
The second test happened a few weeks later. I dropped the wooden frame pair, and a glass lense separated. I immediately panicked, thinking I would have to replace the whole set. I took them back, expecting a huge repair bill.
The lady on the kiosk fixed them back within minutes. I was surprised they did not ask for a charge to cover repair. Very much appreciated! They literally fixed my broken glasses in a very short time. This is how a professional company handles providing quality prescription reading glasses.
