Cella

First time trying EBD. Came from recommendation from Wirecutter. Initially ordered the cella and another frame both with 1.6 index and BLB. They both were very difficult to see out of and the blue reflection was too much. However, I liked the cella frame so I returned both test pairs and ordered the cella but in 1.7 and with no BLB. I am pleased so far as it seems the increased thinness of 1.7 eliminated the difficulty I had with the test pair. Quality seems good. I don’t foresee any longevity issues. I wish it had the flex thing at the hinge which makes taking them on and off easier. Initially, the cella was hurting the top of my right ear but that was fixed after loosening the part that curves into the ear. I liked the virtual “TRY ON” feature and it definitely influenced my decision to try EBD along with the intuitive UI throughout the entire buying process. I wish the lense selection part was more transparent in explaining precisely what each feature and “upgrade” offers with pricing more visible. I would like to see more frame options in the future. Overall, I would try EBD again. Like many others, I normally buy from or go through the optometrist and end up paying $400+ for a mediocre frame with the thinnest lense (I think 1.74) and BLB. EBD for the same thing was $110 and took a FRACTION of the time. Never going through scam optometrists again.

I was really skeptical at first, with thoughts like"how will these get to me in two days and actually fit my head?" Because I'm used to frames and lenses taking weeks to be prepared. Let me tell you, my frames got here within the allotted time and when I put those bad boys on, not only did it feel good, I was able to see comfortably again. And the best part was that I paid less for these than I would have at the local place that was too busy to even help me when I needed it. Just 100% pleased and I will be back when I need new frames, if you feel hesitant, trust me you shouldn't .

These frames are a great deal! They are very economical, and provide an interesting twist on the retro style. However, this frame is quite light and thin, and rougher eyeglass wearers may learn that the hard way.
