These Eye(glasse)s

I'm a -7.5 in one eye and a -9 in the other and have a pair of these:

So only half a wire rim, and the lenses are at least 3x as thick as the rim at each side by the temples. Not as obvious with the heavy black top parts but might be pretty noticeable with thin rims all the way around. My eyes don't look terribly bulgy or anything though, but I imagine they might with bigger lenses like the top ones you posted.

Sucks having terrible vision cause all the super cheap online glasses places only go up to -6 or something before the either won't make them or charge enough extra that you aren't saving that much money over getting them locally.

nah i tried the moscot's on in store but the frames i liked weren't available in my size (massive head)

got a pair of these in the end http://optometristattic.com/7173_Optometrist_Attic.htm

yeah i'm finding that my rx is really limiting my options which wasn't really a problem for the last 10 years or so since i'd always wanted the thicker plastic frames. are thick lenses a purely cosmetic issue or are there functional issues as well?

Even the high index 1.67 glasses would be too thicK?

i asked if i could get "thinner lenses" (cuz i didn't do my research and didn't know to ask about high index) and the optometrist said that because i'm looking at frames that would use larger lenses, the curvature of the edges would be pronounced even with the thinner lenses

i'm probably going to go and get another opinion from another store

Sad that clear frames are becoming a trend just after I had to switch from my own pair :~(

clear frames can be very cool. i've also seen some wood frames (that may not actually be wood) that look pretty cool

Clear frames have been a thing for a few years now, no?

I'm pretty sure I need... bifocals. Sigh.

i am thinking about these: https://i.warbyparker.com/d/f/9791b6184a69b31a3c23915ce7ee3a060342b01c/1000x500

I like those!

I have an eye appointment tomorrow morning and I'm super excited to pick out some new frames.

yea i have one in couple weeks. figure i might as well take advantage of the eye care insurance i have. i've had the same black wire frames for a while and i feel like i need somethng new. you need to change it up you know

I got these, in black - http://www.blackfin.eu/v10/blackfin/en/optical.asp?id=5PR673S54C396.

They are rounder than they look in that photo, but what really sold me was that they are super light and the arms are flexible. They are so comfortable! And I mean good looking, too, but I've never really gone the comfort glasses route and these are the best of both worlds.

Oh and yes, totally, bifocals. The doc had me hold a bottle of eye drops with tiny print on the label and then held lenses of the proper magnification in front of my regular glasses and it was a fucking miracle.

i just got glasses & they got scratched inside the case in less than 12 fucking hours. can I get them exchanged?

anything else would be terrible customer/warranty policy service imo

they're from lenscrafters :(

I take it they're not very good on service? My glasses broke bcz I was partying pretty wild with them, had them fixed on warranty by my optician - probably was some fault in construction that made them break so easy, still thought it v good service, no questions were asked.

how bad is the scratch? they're poor-quality lenses if they got scratched in the case (don't most lenses come with an anti-scratch coating type of thing??). if it's a pretty minor scratch you'll probably find you won't notice it while wearing.

if you have a simple prescription and lenscrafters won't give you a replacement, buy online - i've been wearing various pairs of glasses i bought online for the last 7 years and they're totally fine (just make sure you get the PD number with your prescription).

it's a small scratch but it's right in front of my eye and it's very noticeable when i move my eyes or my head.

posted on men's style thread already but last week i got new frames (the grayish-brown ones in the photo, not the black ones in the back) and i'm digging them, huge improvement from the shitty black wires i've been wearing forever

ils thread for general menswear and men's clothing ish

I haven't used lenscrafters in years but I once sat on a pair of glasses and they replaced them.

A long shot but does anyone have any leads on what specs Chris Dercon wears here? They're not quite the trad round like the Oliver Peoples Gregory Peck nor the ones where the arm comes in the middle of the perfect round, it's somewhere in between.

i'm sure i got a pair like that out of a cracker once

i still love my SEE glasses that kind of look like wood frames w/ a nice matte texture but i am really ready for some circle frames. can't decide whether black wire or silver wire or rimless but i am feeling a perfectly round shape
