Report
I picked up my new glasses 2 days ago, i wore them for one day and find them very heavy and they really hurt my nose. When I asked about a replacement pair i was told I would have to use up my warranty which wouldn't have been a problem if they had another suitable frame for my face. They only sell Nikon lenses and they are too heavy for my liking. I am very disappointed and will go elsewhere next time.
