FAQs
Which option is cheaper?
Do not compare headline prices. Build the same finished basket with lenses, coatings, delivery and any discount terms.
Which option is safer for complex prescriptions?
The safer route is usually the one with clearer fitting support, prescription checks, remake wording and optician access.
Should affiliate approval change the recommendation?
No. Affiliate status can change link placement, but not the buyer suitability verdict.
