LITTLE LIST


I have reviewed three stores where you can buy glasses; a chain company: GrandOptical, a family boutique: Vandenbalck and an online store: Firmoo. Which one suits you best? I've made a list!

Offer

GrandOptical / Chain company: 
GrandOptical has the biggest range of glasses and sunglasses, hundreds of them. 
They also have the most different styles: classic, retro, new trends, designers,...
5/5

Vandenbalck / Boutique: 
Vandenbalck specializes in special and original designs, so you can find more exclusive designers and frames here.
The range of glasses are chosen based on you, their clients.
5/5

Firmoo / Online shop:
They have different styles of glasses, a lot of choice. But there are no designers, only Firmoo glasses.
4/5

Time

GrandOptical: 
In just one hour I could take my glasses home, so that's super quick!
6/5 ;)

Vandenbalck: 
I had to wait only 1 day for my glasses to be ready, again a quick service!
5/5

Firmoo: 
The glasses came from very far, so it took about a week. Still not so bad!
3/5

Price

GrandOptical:
I chose Chanel glasses, they were the normal price, but the lenses were a bit more expensive. (Around 600€)
4,5/5

Vandenbalck:
A normal price for the frame and lenses. (Around 500€)
5/5

Firmoo:
Firmoo is amazingly cheap, and the quality amazingly good. (Around 45€)
6/5 ;)

Personal approach

GrandOptical:
GrandOptical has a great personal approach, they were all very friendly and gave style advice and answered all of my technical questions about their lenses and glasses.
4,5/5

Vandenbalk:
Vandenbalck is even more personal because they know their clients, you always talk to the same persons; Catherine and her team. They even pick out their glasses based on their clients.
6/5 ;)

Firmoo:
Of course online shopping is different from regular shopping. But I emailed with Firmoo, and they were very friendly and gave all the information about how to order.
4/5

Lenses

GrandOptical:
Sadly these lenses are very different from all the other glasses I own. I even went back to get the exact same measures as my favorite pair of glasses, but the lenses still aren't what they should be...
You also can choose which kind of lenses you want, the better, the more expensive, maybe I should replace them with more expensive ones.
2,5/5

Vandenbalck:
Great lenses, good quality!
4,5/5

Firmoo:
What I feared: bad lenses, but no, they are good! I can see just fine with these.
4/5

If you haven't read the full reviews here they are: GrandOptical, Vandenbalk and Firmoo.

Where would you buy your glasses?

  1. I think I would buy mine at Vandenbalck because a very personal approach is important when you're looking for glasses + it seems they have a great price for the great quality.
