If many different people say the same thing about a product, it is worth paying attention. Online shopping will always have a bit of risk, but experience makes it easier. Taking a few minutes to research before buying can save a lot of money and frustration. Smaller shops can be surprisingly friendly if they care about repeat customers. Reading comments with real body photos is one of the best ways to check sizing.
If anyone is interested in real user experiences, I sometimes write short notes about the shops I test.

I think it is better to build a small collection of reliable products than to buy random cheap things. On the other hand, a well made pair of glasses can last a long time and feel comfortable all day. Some charts are very generic and do not match real measurements at all. I also check if the lenses have any blue light filter or anti-reflection coating.
