LAST UPDATED: February 22nd, 2020

After learning that he needed glasses in 2012, one of the Liingo founders, Peder, decided to create a cost-conscious line of glasses that helped people feel good about their eyewear. Liingo wants to ensure that glasses are no longer seen as a correction of a physical ailment, but rather an outward expression of personality and extension of style.

  • Free In-Home Try-On
  • Virtual Try-On
  • Variety of Frames
  • Sunglasses
  • Referral Program
  • Free Lenses
  • Free Shipping and Returns
  • Delight Guarantee

Free In-Home Try-On

One of the most common benefits that customers have mentioned in recent customer reviews is the ability to order and try-on up to five frames in your home. Not only does this allow you to see how they look on you and get opinions from others, but it allows you to make sure that they fit correctly.

The in-home try-on process is simple and follows these steps: Select five frames that you are interested in and add them to your in-home cart. Order them to come to your home and try them out for a period of five days with no commitment. If you find one that you like, you can get back online and have a pair made with your prescription.

Virtual Try-On

If you decide not to do the in-home try-on, you can also see how different frames will look on you by using the virtual try-on tool that is provided online. The instructions for using this tool include the following:

Take a selfie video that shows you slowing turning your head from side to side using the website’s video feature.
Select some frames that you would like to see on yourself. You can select any frames that are on the site.
Order your favorite pair of frames and try them with the 60-day delight guarantee to back you up.

Variety of Frames

An additional perk to buying Liingo Eyewear online is the variety of frames to choose from. It offers specialty frames for women and men, and you are able to filter frames by size, shape, and color online.

Sunglasses

Purchasing sunglasses from your eyewear provider is by far the most convenient for those that need vision correction. Liingo offers a variety of different styles of prescription sunglasses to make sure that you look and feel great while ensuring that you will be able to see.

Referral Program

If you know friends and/or family that are looking to invest in a new pair of glasses, you and your referral can save some money through the Liingo Eyewear refer a friend program. In short, if someone that you know orders a pair of glasses upon your referral and spends more than $79, they will get $20 off of their purchase and you will also receive a $20 credit. This perk is valid for all successful referrals.

Free Lenses

If you purchase a pair of Liingo frames, you will automatically receive free premium polycarbonate lenses. These lenses are 10 to 12 times more impact resistant than a generic lens, they are thinner and lighter, provide 100 percent UV protection, and also have anti-reflective and scratch-resistant coatings.

If you would like to upgrade your lenses, some available paid upgrades include:

  • High index for prescriptions stronger than +3.50 or -4.50
  • Progressives for multifocal prescriptions with an ADD power
  • DuraSeal HD Premium coating
  • Bluelight filtering to reduce eyestrain and fatigue

Free Shipping and Returns

For many online eyewear providers, shipping and returns can be a turning point for consumers. Liingo Eyewear offers free shipping and returns for eyeglasses during its 60-day delight guarantee.

Delight Guarantee

Like most online product providers, Liingo Eyewear provides a guarantee for its products. If you order a pair of Liingo glasses and are not pleased with them, you have 60 days to return the product. Other terms and conditions may apply (as little is explained on the official Liingo website), so you may want to reach out to a customer service representative before beginning the return process.

The Bad

  • Pricing
  • Damaged Goods
  • Online Return Labels

Pricing

Though Liingo pricing is lower than a number of eye doctor prices, it is much more expensive than a number of its competitors. The lowest price currently listed online for frames and premium lenses is $79. Competitors offer similar options that are priced under $30.

Damaged Goods

Safe shipping is not guaranteed by Liingo. Though it will replace any damaged goods if they arrived damaged, you will need to send them back and wait for the replacements to come. Some customer reviews have mentioned this happening. If you are on a time crunch, you should know that this is a possibility.

Online Return Labels

Something that has come up a couple of times in customer reviews is difficulty printing free return labels for eyeglasses. Customers have gone online and selected the return label page, but it has not loaded effectively. If you are having challenges, you should reach out to a customer service representative.

The Bottom Line

Purchasing eyeglasses online is certainly less expensive than purchasing them from your eye doctor. Liingo offers a variety of options to customers looking to spend less on their glasses while maintaining a stylish look. It offers a number of perks that other competitors do not, and customer reviews show that people are generally pleased with the glasses. It will be worth your time to look at the options and try some on at home since there is no financial commitment.
