Post your (prescription) eyewear.
Rate and discuss.

The other glasses thread got derailed.

What do the watermark letters on lenses mean - manufacturer marking? In this case 'VP'.

>all round meme frames

The problem is everyone who wears these thinks they are "unique and different" but don't realize it's played out because everyone else is wearing them for the same reason. Get your own style, if you're really looking to separate yourself. Many of them pull these off terribly.

Harry Potter bruh just forget it
>>
>>11085825
Except I got them because square frames make my face look very blocky. I also deliberately got a pair that don't stand out very much and blend well with my face. Nothing about being unique.

>>11085832
No, as long as they compliment your face.
>>
>>11085828
I'm not being mean, but literally just look for "round face shape glasses for men" on Google and you'll get tons of results. Usually go for styles that are the opposite of your shape. Probably frames with curved corners, since your face has no curves and such.

>>11085083
Except when you are 25+,then the order is reversed. I typically find plastic, bulky frames on men past a certain age to be tacky and try-hard. Wire frames and thinner frames compliment a more matured face, maybe not all the time but most.
>>
>>11085832
Nah, that's better if it suits you. Plastic frames are gross.

1. Some of these are not even round. I would get my eyes checked.

2. >get your own style
There are only a limited amount 'reasonable' geometric shapes which are suitable as frames.

3. This is >optical eyewear, the frames you wear for 95% of your wakeing day. If you have ever been in a professional business meeting, you should know that ultra gaudy frames are not the most versatile.

would have loved to try some other shapes as well. I can not even consider semi open or transparent frames. They look aweful with thicker lenses.

>>11085926
i must agree. >>11083878 is a fairly good example.
Gives an overall bland presence. But in you case I do not think that it is all that bad.
From the photos the plastic seems a bit cheap though.

Just so we're on the same page, what exactly is considered thick?
>>
>>11089471
Thick is correlated with high dioptres.
To pull of clear you need to invest in high index at already moderate dioptres. (-6 > 1.67 high index). Not cheap. Also no ideal.
I tend to find anything above 4 unsuited for clear.

yes. the frames are too angular, the branding too intrusive, the pricing probably nowhere near the actual value.

I find tj
he branding acceptable, as it isnt orange (asit normally is with Boss Orange)
Yet if find the design very bland.

You like bland, go right ahead. Want something with more presence, better look somewhere else.
>>11094410
not possible. Have yet to come about a store which only sells round eyewear. Look at other stores, this is a very very common design, even model.

>>
>>11095028
Yeah, you're right that they're rather bland. I have an oval face, but the main problem is my facial hair. I'm clean shaven always but have very thick black eyebrows and hair, as well as long, black eye lashes. (basically look like an Arab with white skin).

I find that the usual stuff with rather big bezels looks bad, because it just adds more black to my face, if you know what I mean. Won't post pic though, because I'm paranoid about my stuff in the Internet.

Thanks for your help though. Appreciate it very much. I'll try out some different stuff next time. Perhaps some round glasses.
>>
>>11095094
Try bolder colours, they can already change a lot.
Not red or neon, just tortoise or brownish. Play with it.
Glasses are not accessories, they are part of you, things you wear every single day.

If your face is oval, don't go oval round, as it will make your face eggshaped it total
Stay with angular but check other variations.
Check some famous makes and use them as reference for what you like.
Moscot, Oliver Peoples, etc.
