Just got a pair of glasses for 150€ and I have only ~ -1 on both eyes and was wondering if corneal curvature affects the way I see or could I just get any cheap pairs of -1 dioptrin glasses?

I have perfect vision during the day, the only issues i ever have are with digital things far away, i get a blur on, but even then its very minor, but at night other people's headlights and the road lights block everything, i can't even see the centerline because of other people's lights/streetlights. The only time I can see is out in the country when there's no one coming because of the nice reflective yellow line. Should I get glasses for this or just get better headlights? Thanks!

First time posting here since I’m getting desperate to find these for cosplay, but I’m trying to find the glasses/sunglasses that Hal Jordan wears in episode 5 of Lanterns

I’ve seen that it could be Moncler Diffractor ML0206, ML0089, or that it is some sort of welding/blue light glasses. It could be entirely custom for the show, but I’m not sure

Any help would be appreciated in trying to find out what glasses these are! Thank you!

I just picked these up from visionworks today. Put them on without seeing them (because I am blind) and was wondering why my vision was so messed up because my prescription didn’t change that much. Turns out they shaved off most of the sides and created this almost fish bowl effect when I wore them. I have absolutely no peripheral vision and everything is warped. They also look way different on my face and not in a good way. I’ve never seen this done before. I asked when I picked the frames if my prescription strength would be a problem and they said no. I also paid for the high index lenses and my current wire frame glasses work fine with my prescription without any weird shaving. Has anyone encountered this before? Is this normal to do without consulting the person first?

EDIT: I went back and complained. They said they could submit the order again and see if it comes out different the second time. Like what?!?! I’m not waiting another two weeks for them to just do the same thing over again! How can they have no control over it. This is so weird.

Anyway, I’m going to shop for smaller and/or rounder frames thanks to the suggestions from you guys. They didn’t suggest it, I had to bring it up to them that that could be a solution (seriously what). And if that doesn’t work I’m getting my money back and trying elsewhere. Thanks for everyone’s help! You guys were so much more helpful than the people whose job it is to sell me glasses.

Hi, I am 26f. I recently had an eye test done where I was recommended glasses as my vision tends to be blurry (very slightly) at a distance which causes some strain. I only realized when I friend could read a sign that I couldnt. I only got them yesterday but feel like I do not notice too much of a difference. My eyes are still adjusting to the lenses though. Should I give it some time to see if it improves?

I have worn glasses my whole life. I am an adult now, and I work in Cell Phone Repair. So as you imagine, my glasses scratch up quick quick (Due to sometimes flying debris). I never pay for the extra coatings and layers they offer when i get my glasses. But i want to know if those extra layers are worth it, like what will be good to pay extra for that can extend my glasses lifespan?

I have a Lenskart eyeglass frame with colorful graphics printed on the temples (side arms). I’d like to make it look clean and minimal by removing the graphics.
I’m pretty sure it’s a factory-printed design, not a sticker.

I just got back from an eye test and got a new prescription where the optometrist told me my vision had gotten worse within a year. I told him I am prescribed glasses but never wear them because I don’t really need to personally and I feel fine doing tasks without them. When he told me my vision had gotten worse, he said this was because I hadn’t been wearing my glasses. Is this true?

I bought new glasses with new prescriptions. I can hardly see the digital numbers far away but I can see them on my old frames. The eye shop is now saying it's because of my dry eye diease and not the prescription? So then how come I can see just fine from my old frames even with dry eyes? I'm having trouble with digital numbers seeing them clearly and very bad reflections on new frames.

So I am wearing glasses for 20 years now started with cheap ones and moved to standard zeiss and now I was looking to make new one and visited local shops in sweden and some good packages buy one get one free costing my prescription -4 sp -1 cyc almost 6k for two frames and glass with drive safe coating but then I stumble across Matsuda frame and With zeiss lenses it is costing me 13k and Man I am confused as to what to do? I can afford but spending that much is worth it?
Technically it is my eyes but what I want to know are the alternatives if I have to spend 10k sek or $1,000 on glasses what are my other options?

Not sure which ones… Help me Decide!

I got glasses at 13 and since then to now (19) every time I try wearing various ones I always either get a really bad pain behind my ears and either light headed or a bad headache, or if I take it off my ear and leave it on my nose, my nose starts to pain and I get a headache.

I’ve had a few pairs but I just can’t make it. My mom worked at an optical and I’ve tried out a bunch but I just keep getting told you need to get accustom to the frames. Recently I got a large pair of meta rayband and the same thing.

Has anyone else had this problem before and if so, any tips? I’m a student pilot so my glasses are required to fly though I don’t really wear them otherwise. I have decent vision but wearing them I notice it’s slight less blurry compared to what I normally see.

Wanted to try out a pair of sunglasses that i can use to film some fishing vids but need to be able to wear my prescription glasses. Are there any sunglasses that can record vids that fit over prescription? any suggestions are helpful!

Anyone knows the brand of these glasses frame worn by Stephen Wolfram (well known physicist)? I think they are all the same brand. thanks

Both similar, first is more ‘bold’ imo, second is more of my safe choice (also with spring hinges so they fit my big head better)

The arm is bent. I took it to the shop I bought it from, even they cant figure it out.

I am using Rodenstock lenses.

Just wondering if I look better without glasses because I am thinking about going to contacts.

Bonjour à tous,

Je suis un peu frustré et inquièt depuis quelques temps à propos de ma vison.

Tout d'abord je vous précise que je suis myope et astigmate plus tôt fort.

Donc je porte assez régulièrement mes lunettes, j'ai remarqué quelques symptômes et inconfort.

J'ai cette impression de bien voir de loin mais d'avoir un léger inconfort.

Ma vision de près me gène un peu au point de pas arriver à me concentrer pour faire mes devoirs scolaires ou simplement manger avec celle ci , donc je suis parti une première fois à l'ophtalmo mais approprie pas de changement dans ma vision or que mes yeux accomode beaucoup,je fais donc à côté des séances d'orthoptiste,mais malgré sa je suis reparti chez l'ophtalmo 4 semaine plus tard pour re vérifier car l'inconfort est toujours là.

Donc j'ai fait mon rendez-vous avec des gouttes mais toujours la même réponse,ma vue n'a pas changé (je suis perdu car je suis persuadé que j'ai un problème pas non plus extrême mais très inconfortable au quotidien)

J'ai aussi (avec mes lunettes) , dans certains angles et notamment dans des lieux lumineux,le contour de certains objets/personne bleu et orange

J'ai aussi cette impression que mes yeux deviennent plus lent pour s'adapter rapidement au changement de luminosité, voir d'être un peu ébloui...

Vérifié mes lunettes chez l'opticien ?

Des propositions et réponse à ces questionnements pourrais un peu m'aider je l'espère.

I am looking for wide enough and long enough temple arms. Temple width being 150 mm minimum or higher is great and the temple length starting at 155mm would be good too. lens height not being about a 42 and nose bridge 17 to 18 mm. I check out the nose brideg area on frames to see if they are more for low nose bridges and therefore have larger integrated nose pieces, just like pairs offered from payne glasses. I just ordered a pair from eyeshells on october 6 but its the 15 and it just now is in new york. I hope it arrives next week some time. This is the pair to reference that i ordered from eyeshells: Rectangle Glasses A3920 - Wide Frames for Men with Larger Heads | Prescription Glasses | EYESHELLS

i swear glasses get more expensive every time i need a new pair lol. it's not even just the frames anymore. once you add the prescription lenses and whatever upgrades you need, the total gets pretty ridiculous. i'm trying to figure out if getting vision insurance would actually save me money in the long run.

i've been looking at VSP the most so far because they have individual plans, and i like that i can look at coverage for both eye exams and glasses instead of relying on employer benefits. the frame and lens benefits are what caught my attention since those are usually where most of my money goes. i'm just not sure if the savings would be enough to make up for paying a monthly premium.

for those who have VSP, how has it worked out for you? did it actually make buying glasses less expensive, especially if you need prescription lenses or upgrades?
