Avoid! Will scratch within a few months and when you contact them they say it's normal!!
OBS!! I've put this review on the international Trustpilot Misterspex page and they are denying they it is an order! I'm now copying it over to the Swedish specific trustpilot page incase they remove the other - as they threatened to! The reason this company has so many good reviews is because they get bad reviews removed by saying "this is not a valid order number" but it IS. If I could upload photos I could show you all, but they dont allow that, so below are my order details.

Do not be scammed!
Extremely poor quality with whatever coating they're using for scratch-resist. I ordered a pair of glasses a in January and at the same time another pair of glasses from a competing company. I wear my two pairs of glasses equally, and am also a contact lenses wearer during most weekdays. As a result I would say these glasses have have maybe 3-4 months of wear within a year, and they are already so scratched that I can notice the scratches whilst wearing them. My other glasses from a competing company are scratchless.
I emailed the company to let them know as I keep my glasses in their box when not in use, and only use the glasses cleaning cloth. I have had glasses my entire life and on average get 5-6 years of wear out of each pair, I know how to look after them.
I was met with "the micro-scratches seem to be consistent to what we've seen before, and are not uncommon after a year of use" - direct quote. I emailed back to say if this is how their glasses look after a year of use (or less in my case) then it is completely unacceptable. They then backtracked and replied "I'm not saying that we expect there to be scratches after a year or use, or that it is acceptable, only that is it possible depending on wear"
They refuse to progress with anything, telling me that "if everyone had scratches after three months we'd be out of business" - sure? I'm not saying everyone does. I'm saying that mine HAVE and I started my claim with "perhaps there was an error with the scratch proofing on my lenses as I haven't experienced this issue before" and I still stand by the fact there MUST be an error with mine specifically, as I have four other pairs of glasses, some 10 years old, and none are scratched like this. It's mind-boggling that this is their customer service.
If you read other 1 star reviews for this company on UK trustpilot you will see many people who are complaining about the scratch proofing - honestly it is better just to spend the extra 1000kr and buy from another brand. I can say my SmartEyes glasses are my "every day" glasses and haven't got a single scratch.
If you read the lower star reviews you will see they never seem to solve ANY issue. It's always the customers fault. Please keep in mind when buying from this company that YES everything could go perfectly and you will have a fabulous low cost pair of glasses, but on the chance that you DO experience an issue, they will blame you and refuse to do anything about it.
If you value good customer service and a guarantee incase of issues, go with someone else. If you want cheap glasses you don't mind replacing every single year then go with this company. I am -5.5 on eyesight, so each pair of glasses are extremely expensive for me if I want the thinnest glass, and I expect them to last years as a result.
If they reply to this at all, I'm sure it'll be once again blaming me for scratching due to misuse and that "scratch-proof" doesnt mean "cant be scratched. Yes, I know that. I also know that I have never experiences scratches like this within months on ANY other glasses, and the ones I bought from Smarteyes at the same time are JUST FINE.
