Thatās cool. Donāt get me wrong: Iāve had not one but two very mediocre experiences with Chinese glassesā¦ One being a titanflex frame for a very good priceā¦ but Iāve had a Silhouette Titanflex frame before and the quality of the Silhouette frame was noticeably better. The Chinese Titanflex model lasted me 18 months, the Silhouette Frame 5 years!
The second Chinese frame was kind of a Ray Ban Dupe and wellā¦ It did the job but thatās really about it.
Iām coming from a hearing care professional background that also worked with an optician so I learned my share of how to take care of my glasses and how to customize them for myself.
But I donāt want to do it myself abymoreif I can get the service for free just around the corner ;) (Iām not working in the field anymore)
As for production: thereās some German companies who actually are manufacturing in Germany and Europe. So Iām pretty sure my glasses arenāt made in China. The frame Iām wearing is also made in Germany. And my current glasses arenāt even that expensiveā¦ Iāve had way more expensive glasses in the past.
Iāve had two pair of glasses from Chinaā¦ and I have to say: never ever again.
Iāve only bought them because money was tight back thenā¦ the quality was ok for what I paid but thatās about it.
I like my optician around the corner thatās been there for over 35 years. :) They have glasses priced from around 180ā¬ up to what youāre willing to pay. š
I get all the service I need for free there - if something small is broken they fix it immediately and give your glasses a deep cleanā¦
If my money lets me I will always choose to support small businesses.
