I absolutely hate branded frames. Nothing says 'I'm a stupid mark' more than sticking Tommy Hilfiger or Levi's on your face. That's my honest opinion. These fashion companies don’t even make the frames... they license their brand to Luxottica, which holds licenses for many fashionable brands.

I wear round, oval-shaped gold metallic glasses now, but I used to wear thin plastic frames in a brown tortoise shell color. Anyway, glasses get a bad reputation, and they shouldn’t. A good pair of glasses can make anyone look smart and confident.

What you want to avoid is buying frames that make you look like you 'have' to wear glasses. You know, the kind that shows you're embarrassed, like you J.D. Vance’d in the store, telling the optician you just wanted something that made sense.

In case you don’t already know, I’m talking about those angular, tiny frames that some guys think look the most normal.

oliver peoples or cartier etc

Could you give an example on what you wear or something you might recommend?

I think a lot of frames here look fine. Non-brand, generic options are just as good. It's the logo and the brand that make frames exponentially more expensive. You’re literally just paying for a piece of plastic or metal to hold the lenses.

You don’t have to spend a lot of money to get good frames. That was the noob move I made when I bought glasses for the first time. I chose Ray-Bans because of the brand and familiar design, but I never really liked them. I started to hate the logo on the side and felt so self-conscious about it.

This is nice.

I was gonna splurge on some acetate frames or maybe some famous brand like mykita or masunaga but I might reconsider and get a cheap but stylish one like the types in the links

Your eyes could get an infection if you keep wearing contact lenses for a very long time.

I knew a guy who lost his vision in one eye because of the lenses. He worked as farmer and some particle got into his eyes while he was driving a tractor. The result was lots of surgeries, but only single eye was saved from blindness.

I'm looking to buy new glasses again. I did some research and spoke with several opticians, which made me realize there’s still a lot I don’t know. Apologies for being misinformed about certain things here.

For example, round frames and rimless (or semi-rimless) glasses can be more suitable for high-prescription (thicker) lenses, as they help distribute the lens thickness more evenly.

Titanium is one of the best materials for frames if you're looking for durability and want frames that can last through multiple lens updates as your prescription changes.

Plastic frames are also an option, especially round ones for high-prescription lenses. However, plastic can become brittle over time, making lens replacement more challenging or even impossible. Rimless frames (like the Silhouette style) work with various lens thicknesses, though high-index lenses are usually recommended to keep them lightweight and aesthetically pleasing.

Square or angular frames are generally a poor choice for thick lenses. This is because high-prescription lenses tend to be thickest at the edges, and the sharper angles of square or rectangular frames can make the lens thickness more noticeable and create an uneven look. Round or softer-edged frames help reduce this effect by distributing the lens material more evenly.

It’s also important to get the measurements right, especially the length of the temples. If the temples are too short, not only will the frames not fit correctly, but they can also break more easily from being overextended.

Generally, it’s best to choose brands that specialize in making frames rather than ones that simply license their brand name. The country of origin also matters, with frames from Japan, Germany, and Italy being known for their quality. China can produce good frames, but quality varies more widely due to a lot of lower-cost manufacturing. In Western countries, it’s less common to see cheaply made frames because of higher production costs.

Check out this video... it’s pretty informative. The presenter discusses different brands, but there’s a lot to learn from it.

I think I'll try titanium frames with real glass lenses. Though, I'm not sure about the cost yet. I'll definitely have to pay attention to the hinges.

Have you thought about what kind of lenses you're going to get?

What's your prescription?

I really liked the idea of getting real glass lenses, but all the opticians I've talked to seem to be against that idea.

Apparently they would be too heavy for me.

Transparent frame seems trendy too

Aren't most lenses the same?

There seem to be some difference. Especially if you start comparing durability and scratch resistance.

There are pros and cons of choosing glass, polycarbonate, CR39, or Trivex. Also, there seem to be some differences between the lens manufacturers.
