Im so excited to get mine!! Can’t wait!! Thank you so much for this review
Thank you for this video. I've been considering these too, mostly because of the sunglasses option. I appreciate the honest review. Your frames and tops look great!!
Thank you! The sunglasses are definitely my most used topper 😎
They do have other new shapes now. I just ordered the style called Wanda and can’t wait. Thanks for the review.
They have more frame options now. I have the Reese. Plus, my Harry Potter Ravenclaw tops hogwarts tops. They do take about 14 days to prepare your glasses, but once shipped, they got here quickly. January 2022
Here July 1, 2021 and I just saw they came out with a cat eye shape! It's a dream come true and all that's keeping me from ordering is I get my new prescription in August. Then it's on like Donkey Kong! Can't wait!
Yes! I love some of the new shapes, but I already have so many top frames for my Larkins (which I also love). When I first saw them, I also waited to get my new prescription, I knew my eyes had gotten worse and didn't feel like buying two pairs of glasses in two months
I ordered the clear Kirby frames, and a few tops. A neon orange. Spider-Man tie dye, some sunglasses, and Hufflepuff. Excited to get my order, not excited about the wait.
I ordered some 5 days ago I hope I get it within a month if not less I’m excited
Have you received them yet? My last couple orders I’ve received in 2 weeks or less 🙂
Thank you for doing this video!!! Great review! I have one on my channel too, love Pair. Are you still wearing them?
Thanks for sharing because I've been looking at these! I just got glasses lol they came in yesterday so I'm still trying to find ones that I like, will fit my style, etc. Like you said I started looking at them mainly for the sunglasses cover 😎
Thank you for your comment! The sunglass toppers are the best! The other tops are cool... but the sunglasses win 😎 I've seen a couple people put other tops over the sunglass tops as well to change them up (it does make some super thick frames, but is kind of fun 😉).
Here in 2022 and they have a lot more base frame styles now!
Great review! I ordered Larkin frames as well and it took a month to get them. I actually went to post office to pick them up to get them quicker as the free shipping is sure post where it starts as UPS ground and the post office does actually delivery, if I had waited actual shipping would have been 8 days minimum. That's a bit much considering what the website claims. As for fit the Larkin was too big for me. I went to local eye glass store and found the smallest kid frame actually fit, Pair calls it Cedro, ( I checked inside measurements at store). There's lots of adult frames in that size range. I did go ahead and order Cedro. Though I'm ticked about how long it took to get them I do love the premise. I have a high prescription and feel the price point isn't bad. They do free returns so I'm actually considering returning the Larkin to get them switched to progressive lens for days I don't need to drive. I think although too big for my prescription(too much distortion because of size of lens) they may be good for when I'm home and do read more. Note the distortion is not their fault, I have a high prescription and astigmatism. The prescription dead center and very close around it is perfect, that's why I'm considering giving progressives a shot in them. As far a designs and price...yeah a little much at 25 bucks a pop but a lot less clutter than having a whole bunch of glasses. The designs, LOVE them lol heck I'm going to be 50 and I still ordered a Sesame Street one as well as the same Harry Potter you did :) I love crazy shoes and bags so this is right up my alley.
The wait though is ridiculous, they need to get their act together. I wouldn't recommend them to people until I see shipping improvements and they change their website to reflect real ship times. I hope it gets better fast. I think they have a great idea but don't want people saying to me about how long it took if I suggested them. Hoping 2nd pair comes faster.
Thanks for sharing!
Ugh! Yeah.... they definitely need to upgrade the info on the website. I think it says that it takes about two weeks to get a prescription made and sent - which is definitely wrong (6 weeks later...)! I thought about trying the Cedro out, but was worried it wouldn't fit. I may have to give it a try in the future and I'm glad you found one that fits you 🙂 If you do return them, let me know how it goes, I haven't had to deal with a return so I have no idea what customer service is like.
The tops are a bit spendy, but I worked with special needs kids pre-covid and I keep thinking how much they would love all the different designs if I had worn them to work 😍
Every time I recommend them I do warn about shipping time. If you need new glasses now... These are not the ones for you... at least right now. I seriously hope they get their processing and shipping together soon!
I have not received mine yet but as I read it, I am aware it will take probably a month. It took me 3 weeks to get my glasses from my eye doctor. When I was a kid I feel like it took a day lol
Same
Which frames are these (i.e. Larkin?)
Hi, I was wondering if you have tried the different frames they have available now. Because now they have 10 options for adults.
Just ordered mine today ! Should have used a code (I always forget to add a code) I got the Larkin because I kind of had a pair like that already… praying they don’t take as long to come in ! Might have the hubby get me Harry Potter frames for Christmas lol
How are you liking them?
@@alattehandle326 ohhhhh just have like 10 toppers now… and I just ordered 3 more… got my glasses in 2 weeks exactly and my mistake was ordering Larkins when I should have ordered the bigger size glasses because I have a wider shape head but they stretched a bit and the prescription was PERFECT !
And I got my Harry Potter (Hufflepuff) frames and Christmas frames lol
Thank you so much for your Pair review. It is great that your setting is well lit and I feel I can see your glasses and tops the best of all the reviews I have seen. You look great in your Larkins.
I can't wait to try Pair Larkin. I love the concept.
I am 12 days waiting for my Larkin frames only order, which I plan to have prescription filled locally. I am miffed because I even paid for expedited shipping with no prescription and I have not received any shipping notice to date. Responses to my emails have been very generic.
As a retired optician I'm very curious as to why you would order your Pair glasses as non-prescription rather than having them include your prescription in your glasses? Pair is providing your glasses in your prescription for free. Your local optical shop is going to charge you at least $65.00 to 100.00 just for simple single vision lenses. I can tell you that the on-line glasses sites all are every bit as qualified in providing you with your glasses in your prescription as well as any local shop can. All you had to do was either ask for a copy of your prescription and photo copy it and send it to Pair or Pair will even call your doctor and get your prescription from them for you. Remember you don't owe that shop anything and in many cases the optometrist are independent of the store so they don't care where you get your glasses from.
Personally, I have a problem with the magnetic fronts they are selling for $25.00 each. That seems like a lot of money for something similar to a sunglass clip. There are a number of very good glasses sites that you can order a complete pair of glasses in your prescription for as little as $6.95. Check these sites out and you will see what I mean. Zeelool, Voogueme, Payne Glasses and Zenni Optical.
@@soundmanpt Hi Jim, thanks for the query. I have a strong -8 prescription with +2.5 reading adjustment and astigmatism. The cost of Pair glasses does go up significantly with progressive lenses and add on to the lenses. In addition, Pair only offers polycarbonate lenses at this time. While this is the #1 choice for children due to impact resistance, this material is more susceptible to scratches and does not provide the best visual acuity.
Costco will be charging an extra $ 25 to make my lenses, but the lenses are quite reasonably priced. I also have a lense recall as my doctor's new script was off, and I plan to use it on the Pair instead of my old frames.
@@soundmanpt I have also been impressed with Zenni, and have a few pairs from them.
Thanks for your comment! I also loved the concept or them and the shape of the Larkin was exactly what I wanted 🙂. That's so frustrating! It seems like there are quite a bit of shipping horror stories; I just did an order for a couple of tops to see if they get sent out any faster than my frames did. I got an email from the company shortly after I ordered my original glasses saying they were changing some of their manufacturing to help keep up with the command and growing pains, so I'm hoping they get it figured out soon! And hoping you get your Larkins soon, they're so much fun!
@@Milkmaid108 Thank you for your reply. Just for fun since you provided your prescription in your reply to me I decided to see how much Zenni would charge you for a really nice pair of glasses with adult lenses and suing high index (thinner) 1.67 thickness for your your glasses including an AR coating as well. Your lenses would be a total of $73.00 and $4.95 for the AR coating. The glasses i chose were $15.95. This came to a total of $93.90 not counting shipping which is only $4.95. How much did you end up paying for your glasses after getting your lenses form Costco?
What about fitting them? How do you adjust them to not hurt your ears?
You did a very nice review of your Pair glasses and the Larkin frame seems to be a decent fit on you. $60.00 for the base pair including your single vision prescription lenses is certainly a much better price than what you would pay for glasses from a local optical store. I even like the idea of having various options for magnetic fronts or face plates to change the look of the glasses. But not at the cost of $25.00 each. That seems much too excessive for something like that. It's really nothing more than a magnetic sunglass clip that you can but at most stores for under $4.00. Also most of those front clips seem more for kids than adults in my opinion anyway. I'm not sure why anyone would want to pay $25.00 for the clips when you can buy a complete pair of glasses including single vision prescription lenses in whatever your prescription is for as little as $6.95 from any number of really good on-line sites which include sites like Zeelool, Voogueme Payne Glasses and Zenni Optical. So you could actually buy 3 complete pairs of glasses for what one of those clips cost. Remember also that the base pair is already 8 times higher than what one pair of glasses would cost also. Sorry, I don't find this much of a great deal when compared to many other sites out their.
Thanks for your comment. My last glasses from an optical store cost over $350.00 after a discount. The frames themselves were around $75.00 but the lenses were ridiculous! I agree the fronts are expensive, and I feel like they should be cheaper. As for the patterns, there are definitely ones I wouldn't wear lol. The one benefit I found with the sunglass fronts over other sunglasses, is that they actually fit my glasses. I've tried other sunglass frames and always had problems with fit 🙁
Thanks for mentioning the other sights, I've heard of Zenni, but hadn't the other two. Definitely worth checking out 🙂
@@alattehandle326 And thank you for your reply to my comment and for being understanding that I wasn't attacking you in anyway. Sadly, what you paid out of pocket for your glasses is about the average most people pay and that's with insurance paying about half the cost. So you can see that for anyone that doesn't have insurance getting glasses can be put off much too long. As an optician I know some people were being forced to decide on getting glasses or not eating as well as they should just to pay for their glasses. For many people they need their glasses just to be able to function normally. Glasses are a medical device and should be provided as such. I don't have any issue with the jeweler that sells expensive watches and bracelets for hundreds of dollars because those things are optional and not a necessity like glasses are. For that reason the on-line glasses sites are much needed and shows what everyone already were thinking. Glasses are priced far beyond what they need to be priced at. If a company can sell glasses for $6.95 without any insurance that proves they shouldn't cost $350.00 with insurance.
Something you should know, with Zenni at least, is that every pair of glasses they sell also has an option on the same page for sunglass clips for just $3.95 each. I have ordered a good number of glasses for friends that have wanted the sunglass clips and in every case the sunglass clip is a perfect fit to that frame. I know exactly what you mean though because if you were you try and find a sunglass clip for any of your glasses at any store it is never a perfect fit and usually not even close to fitting the frame of your glasses and it looks rater "dorky". The Zenni clips look like prescription sunglasses they fit so well.
Aside from getting a sunglass clip, or even two clips, you also need to order an AR coating (anti-reflective) on your lenses which just the $4.95 version is really quite good. They offer that coating in a good, better and best but the good is just fine, but even the best is only $14.95.
I realize this video is over a year ago, but if you still have them, I havea. quick question: How are the prescription? Does it look like they match, or are they a bit off? I'm a bit concerned with ordering them since I know online glasses can be a bit more hit-or-miss with accuracy of the lenses. Thanks for reading!
It took two days less than 7 weeks for mine to come. Every time I asked, they gave me a different reason why they were delayed. One person even said they had lost them but didn’t k low they had lost them until I brought it up. Glasses aren’t bad, but shipping and customer service is an F.
Are they heavy to wear with the toppers on? Do they start to slide down your nose after wearing them for a while?
The toppers are pretty light, I don’t notice that much of a difference if I’m wearing a topper or not. Some people will stack the sunglasses ones with another topper, and I do think that, that feels a little heavy. So far I haven’t had any problems with them slipping down my nose 🙂
They have 10 women adult frames now. I ordered July 9th. We will see how long it takes.
I know! I love some of the new frames, but it's not worth switching because I don't want to have to buy new toppers 😅
Did you order any of the new frames? I'm definitely curious how long they will take. In my experience, if you order toppers at release, they take a lot longer than if you order some that have been out for awhile.
@@alattehandle326 this was my first order with pair eyewear I ordered the Finley frame and I ordered it on July 9th and it came in on August 7th. So it took about a month. Although it asked me to choose the thinner lens I didn't I just use plastic lenses and it was okay for my prescription which is -5.25. so far I like the Finley frame it's just a tad smaller than what I'm used to wearing. I thought the Larkin maybe too big for my face. I am pleased.
How long did they take to come in? Is their a faster delivery?
Mine originally took around 6 weeks - way too long. We recently ordered my Husband a pair and they took less than two weeks! So huge improvement. Yes there are faster shipping options, however what really took time was processing the order. You can get them as fast as the next day, after the order is completely processed (your glasses are made with the correct prescription and ready to go).
❤
Did you have to give them a PD measurement
Yes, mine was also in my prescription I gave them, but support emailed and asked for it.
They have already added more options for frames.
Yes, they do! I think they added them about two weeks after I made this video 😅
what is your prescription? mine is -8 or so
Mine is -4.5
I got the thin lenses for mine and it's worked great. However I'm not sure how well that option works for stronger prescriptions
@@alattehandle326 ok thanks!
don't do it get zenni they're not much more than the cost of the fronts and it's a spare pair of glasses not just a plastic front thing
I'm hearing a lot about Zenni! I'm thinking they definitely might be worth checking out 🤔
I think the idea of the toppers might be that they don't take up as much space as a whole set of glasses? I can probably store about 5-8 toppers in the same space as a second pair of glasses. A spare pair of glasses is always a good idea though, so I guess it comes down to personal preference. You definitely make a valid point though, thanks for sharing 🙂
@@alattehandle326 yeah that makes sense! for me I like wearing whatever pair of glasses is nearest scattered throughout the apartment like little treasures I forgot I put there
At $60.00 these are way too expensive for online glasses, especially since there are only TWO styles to choose from. also the clips are way too expensive at $25.00 each. Were you sponsored by this company? You never said so but my vote is that you were I’ve ordered glasses from Zenni and EyeBuyDirect and I’m amazed at the quality of glasses that cost less than $10.00 or $20.00 each & those companies are always running sales or coupon codes. These snap on thingies are a gimmick and a rather expensive gimmick at that. So my vote on this company is a resounding “No”.
They do have more options now, but yes the toppers are a bit spendy and addicting... Compared to other online retailers they can be a bit more expensive, compared to buying from the eye doctor though, they were much cheaper.
No I'm not sponsored, that would be pretty cool, but I have nowhere near enough influence for a sponsorship at this point 🙂
I've heard a lot about Zenni recently and have definitely been considering trying them. My worry about online is always quality, so I'm pretty curious to see if they are as quality as everyone says 🙂
