Those look nice. I don't wear glasses.
How about something from Cartier?

I wear black vintage cateye frames, late 50's or early 60's, new old stock from the Amsterdam Brilmuseum. These:



I'm looking for another pair at the moment too, I want a pair that isn't black, and works better with older styles than my current frames do. I'm thinking of something like these, for example.

Do they make regular eyeglasses?

May I ask your age? I think retro is really "in" nowadays and your black glasses are very nice! The other ones I'm not too fond of

I buy only cheapies from ZenniOptical. Too many people in my family wear glasses to buy anything that costs much, and they have enough styles that everyone's been able to find something that works.

These are mine now:




to the OP, I like the ones you posted, they look good. And Pimpinett, those are awesome!

Those look nice, Desmond Hume. Do you have them yet?
Great photo, Pimpinett! And great frames, too.

Here are mine. I love their coloring - tortoise shell on the outside and a nice plummy-lavender on the inside.

Oh this is fun! Nice frames, all. Here are mine:



I have a very strong Rx from high astigmatism and I'm nearsighted and I must wear progressives (!) So even though I pay extra $ to have them ground as thin as possible, they still end up being super thick. As a result I'm limited as to styles, because if I go too big/round/wide I risk looking like The Fly.

Very cool! It's so nice to see someone with the guts to be an individual!

BTW, Cutler and Gross make some trend-making styles that are unique.

My oakley mufflers. Kinda heavy and hurt at first but I got used to them. I just wish the fit was a little tighter on my head.

I very rarely wear my eyeglasses, but when I do I have a pair of Cutler & Gross. The lenses are clear, but when you go into sunlight they automatically darken to become sunglasses. Out of the heat/light they return to their transparency!

Those are what I wear, mine are in tortoiseshell. I rarely wear them in public, though. I'm a contact lens guy. Just checked mine...my model number is the same as those.

Thanks Hednic. Got them back with the lenses yesterday. Ugghhh....trying to get used to them. Had to take them off driving home because I almost threw up (motion sickness) . Hopefully I'll only have to endure this for a couple more days.
