i looked at the 2nd ones! also really like those green ones!

jordans-menendi (tehresa), Sunday, 23 November 2008 03:28 (fifteen years ago) link

yeah i'm not really sure about 1, 3, and 6. i love those green ones too, in theory, just not sure i won't look like a dork in them. but for $20 or so, it's worth finding out!

my friend told me if you have a really strong prescription it's better to go with a smaller frame so the curve isn't so drastic? something like that.

a larger frame will involve thicker glasses at the periphery. thickness can also be reduced through the kind of lens you get.

i want to do this but i am afraid. i know that when i go to the eye doctor i end up trying on like 20 pairs of glasses and 19 of them are wrong for my face or too small for my eyes or the wrong color or something. like how am i going to buy frames over the internet with this weird shaped head and huge eyes? i like the frames i have now but i need new ones, they are getting kinda grody.

harbl that is the same problem i was having - whenever i've tried on frames i'm lucky if i find 2 or 3 that actually look okay on me. i can't say this for sure since i haven't received any yet, but hopefully by getting frames with similar dimensions to the ones i already have, they should fit pretty well. and they so cheap, you only lose out on a small amount of money if they look really bad.

which is why i've always found buying glasses so fuckin stressful in the past: 'holy shit these are like $400 and i'm gonnna have to live with them for a 2-5yr minimum!'

i hope you don't pray to jesus with that mouth (Rubyredd), Sunday, 23 November 2008 16:49 (fifteen years ago) link

yeah. this issue is one that plagues me as well! i haven't been able to bring myself to order the cheap ones online yet!

jordans-menendi (tehresa), Sunday, 23 November 2008 16:52 (fifteen years ago) link

it's not even a cheap factor - when i got my glasses, i was willing to pay a decent amount of money because i hadn't gotten new ones in so long and the last ones cost about $30 total, but there was really only 1 pair in the entire store that i thought looked ok (and it was not one of the fancy designer pairs).

"a larger frame will involve thicker glasses at the periphery."

only if you are shortsighted.

When I was about 10 years younger (and ironically, 15 pounds heavier), I used to wear these daily

I barely recognize me in that photo (babyface!), but I do still have those glasses around here somewhere.

i got all my glasses! i love them! they're all a little too wide, but it's practically impossible to find plastic frames under 126mm, and they don't look bad - just not perfect. i'm STOKED to finally have prescription sunglasses!

Finefinemusic, i have to thank you for making me aware of Zenni Optical! I recently lost a $200+ of eyeglasses and had been watching movies + driving in a less than optimal state for a while. I ordered two pairs of glasses from Zenni, got them today, and one of them ($19) is identical to my lost, expensive pair. so much so that my sister pointed it out. they totally fit my face and everything.

seriously, this may be the best thing ilx has brought to my life.

haha that post reads like ad copy, but i mean it! i am drunk on cheap glasses!

horseshoe, Thursday, 11 December 2008 20:19 (fifteen years ago) link

hahhaha, that DOES read like ad copy! I am so very happy I could help.. I've been telling everyone about these sites, it's so nice to be liberated from expensive frames!

OK yeah. I need new RX sunglasses. I am going to do this when I get paid on Firday. Also might investigate getting a new pair of regular ones now that I'm in glasses 24/7.

old glasses - comfy, but not geometry teacher / malcolm x enough

new glasses - not so comfy, though quite authentic. literally a half-inch thick at the edge. very authentic 50s geometry teacher. not sure why i'm pulling such a weird face in the second photo.

i like your old ones more - not sure if it's just the facial expression, but the new ones make you look older

Your office (?) looks awesome as do both pairs of glasses.

I still haven't gotten new RX sunglasses. Have to wait until I'm employed again now. Boo.

I was seriously just considering using Zenni the other day, but a friend suggested they were undoubtedly constructed by child slaves. Buzzkill.

V - I really like the both glasses on you but the new ones look great.

I finally got a pic where you can see that mine are purple and green. After 6 months of having these I love them so much that I don't care that they were pretty $$$.

geometr teacher glasses are so hot. I'm severely limited in my choice of glasses since I'm a -6 and -7 which makes me really fucking blind and my lenses are so expensive as well (usually about four times the price of the glasses)

Plaxico (I know, right?), Tuesday, 31 March 2009 21:39 (fifteen years ago) link

i'm a -8.5 in one eye and -9 on another. you should see how thick these glasses are. literally a half-inch on the side. actually, you can see in both pics how thick they are from how much they distort the space around my eyes - my eyes literally look about half as big as they really are. but i just told the optometrist fuck you man, i want gigantic malcolm x glasses.

I missed the last few entries but those glasses are pretty badass, baja

for sunglasses, i just picked a bigger, thicker frame off goggles4u.com with tinted prescription lenses.

That's exactly what I'm doing.. looking through Zenni right now.

I kind of love these but they may be too small :(

I still need to do this. They have some frames I LOVE at my opticians but they're like $200. Ugh.

ricardos montalban (tehresa), Friday, 22 May 2009 03:49 (fifteen years ago) link

I actually just have a wide face, haha.. they do look a bit short too now that I re-look at them. I am just sort of an old woman and like tacky floral prints.
