How we review

We separate facts, judgment and first-hand testing so you can see exactly what supports a verdict.

1. Define the decision

Each page starts with a real choice and the factors that can change it. We avoid “best” lists that do not name a buyer or use case.

2. Use primary sources

Retailer policy pages, product pages and recognized professional guidance are preferred. Every changing claim gets an inline or end-of-page source and a checked date.

3. Compare reproducible totals

A frame’s teaser price is not an eyeglasses total. We compare equivalent prescriptions, lenses, shipping and current return protection when live cart research is available.

4. Label evidence honestly

Desk research is labeled desk research. We never imply that we bought, wore or lab-tested an item unless we did and can describe the protocol.

5. Correct visibly

Material corrections get a note and date. Affiliate relationships do not affect scores or eligibility.
