Should I buy these glasses?

Nanabear

With a change in prescription and one too many scratches on my current pair, I am in need of new glasses. I was shocked by how expensive specs were at brick and mortar stores so decided to try online. I have a very wide face so most specs don't fit me but these seem to fit the tab. http://www.clearlycontacts.ca/.....l?rsView=1

What do you say? Does it pass the style assessment?

Update - how about this one? http://www.coastal.com/frames/.....21073.html

Do you wear your glasses all day, every day? I do, so it's crucial for me that they fit perfectly and I can easily go back to store for adjustments, repair or replacement. I would never buy something as essential as this online. Plus the experienced sales assistant at my fully-stocked optometrist office even ordered in several pairs from their suppliers for me to try. She measured pupillary distance accurately, knew exactly what I wanted and needed and even though there were great options already in-store, she went the extra mile to be sure I was fully satisfied. I don't see how you can tell if frames really fit and look good without trying them on. To me the higher cost was well worth it. You usually get what you pay for, I find. If you read the customer reviews from your link, you'll see that even the good ones had an "I wish . . ." comment.

Thank you Nancylee, I had thought about that and did have the same concerns. However, in my circumstances I cannot shell out hundreds more for a brick and mortar store pair. I know my PD thanks to my nice opthalmologist and used the width measurements from my current pair. They have a good return policy and I'm curious to try it out. Here's hoping...

Update - added another style I'm interested in.

Without seeing them on you, I like the first pair you linked to best. They look more modern to my eye.
