alright, browsing through the users pics, I notice that a
lot of you have no idea that your eyeglasses are working
against making you look handsome.

I work in the optical business, so I noticed that most of
you have glasses that have the lenses off set from your
eyes, meaning your eye isn't centered in the lense. You
need to have your lenses dead centered on your pupils.

We take a PD (pupilary distance) to make sure the optics are
at the center, but if some dumbass selling you glasses
doesn't get a frame that centers your eyes to the OD & OS
(right and left) lenses, then you look crosseyed or worse.

Remember, next time you visit an optician, if they aren't
doing this, they aren't doing their job and you need to go
somewhere else.

We routinely sell glasses in the $600+ range, and trust me,
there are difference in high end frames/lenses than compared
to the Lens Crafters generic pile.

Either way though, if your right pupil isn't in the middle
of the right lens, and the same with your left pupil, no
glasses will ever look as good on your face as they should.

what kind of frames are you looking for? Plastic, metal,
rimlon (no frame on bottom) rimless.

I'll point you to a couple of good manufacturers website if
you give me a little idea of what you want. :)

did you LOSE them? or did they expire?
cos if they expired, you can get them extended for like
50/75 dollars for another year.......*hopes you didn't LOSE
them cos they can't help ya there*

okies......so my last few pairs....have been thin wire
frames in the small oval shape, some were in a kinda weird
geometric shape that i can't describe kinda oval with a
slight drop in the center....

the ones my coworker had were plastic more rectangular but
also not really thick plastic....

i spend big dollars for glasses cos i get the super thin,
anti reflection, etc....i usually get two pair so i have a
spare plus i wear my contacts also.....ehehheh

i've had glasses since i was 5.....terrible vision =/ so i
know the advice you're giving is VERY important....you get
what you pay for.......and my vision is worth every penny!

recommend.......recommend!!!

I lost them! I have been meaning to call the RR people and
ask if they can issue replacments, but you didn't get my
hopes up!
-------------

Big plastic frames, (don't think Elton John) have come back
pretty big time. The early '90s it was all about hiding the
frames, now people want to show them off.

Plastic frames typically require less adjusting and they
usually sit on your bridge without nosepads, which I
prefer.

There are billions of companies that make decent ZYL (that
is the trade name for plastic) frames.

Oliver Peoples

OP is a personal favorite for classy wire/metal frames, and
bold yet stylish plastic frames. I have a pair of the
PS-248, and I love 'em. They are conservative and not
outrageous, very high quality, and while expensive, not
extravagent.

That is the middle of the road, very stylish, very nice. I
won't go into explaining the margins outside of that, as it
is very vast. Here is one of our competitors websites, our
own webpage never made it big.......:(

They carry most of the stuff we do, and gives you a decent
idea of the high quality, fashionable selection available:
City Optix

check their website for the latest in quality, in vouge
styles that will work out for you.

If you want more specfic suggestions, though it seems like
your open to whatever, let me know and I'll dig around for
you. :)

lost or stolen RR tix.....they are like $$, but if it makes
you feel better call RR ! sowwie dood!

i copied & pasted what you wrote, thanks a lot.......i never
go with trends tho.....i will stick with the smaller type
frames.....i love coolish freaky colours tho so thats what
i'm looking for....i would love hand painted frames in like
purples and blues......*hopes i find some*

Thank you for the advice...I don't wear glasses myself but I
have started smashing peoples glasses if they don't look
right, and advising them to get ones that don't make them
look like gozzy eyed cunts.
