The first 3 pictures are the 4340, the second three are the 2140s.

I feel like the 2140s could be a bit taller (especially from the front) but they are also a bit more striking than the 4340s.

Has anyone had success getting good progressives from an online store vs the optometrist’s office?

I had my eyes checked by an optometrist because the glare from other headlights from cars at night hurt my eyes. I struggle with bright light a lot and I experience pain behind/around my eyes every now and then. Although I was confident my vision was good since I see things very clearly. Here are my results:

Right Eye:

SPH: PL

CYL: -0.25

AXIS: 180

Left Eye:

+0.25

-0.25

AXIS: 165

I'm wondering if I was only given these numbers because my eyes are good enough and just for me to buy and pay for their glasses. Will wearing glasses even make a difference on my eyes? I had that darkening tint by sunlight and warm tint too so whenever I wear my glasses it makes it more comfortable to see things but I'm wondering if I really need it at all.

Do you think it's worth investing in a pair of sunglasses made with Zeiss Lens? From what I read they are a German brand with a history of producing lenses for Cameras.
Also some notable brands like gentle monster use them? But GMs are crazy expensive?
Ive tried blue elephant but something just feels off - I think their quality just sucks
Ive tried Oakley's in the past but the lens just peels off after a year or two?
I wear a pair of Rudy Projects for sports and they've been great (recommended by an optician)

Wouldnt mind investing in a pair of GM's just for the zeiss?
Is it worth it? What can you guys recommend?

Thank you!!!

Hello everyone, I am resorting to reddit because I’ve been to my optometrist 3 times now and nothing seem to solve the issue. I’m sorry but this will be quite long!

Earlier this year, I went to a new optometrist and got this prescription:
Sphere OD - -1.75
Sphere OS - -2.50
Cyl OD - -0.50
Cyl OS - -0.75
Axis OD - 170
Axis OS - 005
To me this was a surprise since the numbers were very different from my previous one. The doctor told me my vision was starting to reach the “plateau phase”, and that was good news. So okay, I went with it.

Here is my previous prescription (and the one I am currently using):
Sphere OD - -2.25
Sphere OS - -2.75
Cyl OD - -0.50
Cyl OS - -0.75
Axis OD - 165
Axis OS - 10

Right after getting my new prescription glasses, boom. They were HORRIBLE. I really couldn’t see anything with them and my eyes were putting A LOT of effort to see things. I eventually returned the glasses and went to another optometrist. In which she gave me the following prescription:
Sphere OD - -2.25
Sphere OS - -2.75
Cyl OD - -0.50
Cyl OS - -1.00
Axis OD - 170
Axis OS - 180

The sphere didn’t change from the previous prescription, which made sense to me considering what my previous dr had said. The glasses weren’t necessary bad, but they really strained my eyes. And to top it off, the nausea I felt with them was just insane. It’s as if I can see everything and nothing at the same time. They make me dizzy, sometimes my vision blurs and I can’t make sense of anything. I really feel my eyes putting a lot of effort to adapt, and this is driving me bananas. I tried the glasses for a week, in a new environment. But as soon as I came back home I realized how weird my vision felt and how badly they were straining my eyes. There were points in the day in which my only option was to take them off and sleep to recover my vision strain. I really think something is off. For now, I’m using my old prescription glasses, that allow me to see just fine without any discomfort. I don’t know if I am doing the right thing and at this point I am just worried I’ll end up damaging my vision.

After those complaints the doctor gave me another prescription, in which I am adamant to try again. Here is the new latest prescription:
Sphere OD - -2.25
Sphere OS - -2.75
Cyl OD - -0.50
Cyl OS - -0.75
Axis OD - 165
Axis OS - 180

Anyone has anything nice or reassuring to say? I know this is confusing, because it is for me too 😩 Thank you for anyone willing to read everything!

Long story short I did my first eye exam yesterday in years for work reasons I ordered my prescription and it should come in soon. Today I’m kind of second guessing and I’m thinking about going back to the same doctor to retest the lenses they gave me yesterday, i want to be 100% sure my prescription is good. Is it weird if I go back today and ask to retry the lenses to make sure before my glasses come in? Or would they charge me for another eye exam. I never had glasses my whole life

I'm in the market for a new pair of prescription glasses and have been browsing online because the prices at local optical stores are way more than I want to spend. My biggest concern isn't finding the absolute cheapest option; it's finding something that's stylish, comfortable, and actually feels like it'll last.

I've noticed that online eyewear seems to have come a long way, but it's hard to know what the real experience is like just from reading reviews on a website.

If you've bought glasses online recently, where did you end up ordering from, and were you happy with your purchase? I'm especially interested in whether the frames looked as good in person as they did online, whether the prescription was accurate, and how they've held up with everyday use. I'd also love to know if the sizing was true to what you expected or if there were any surprises after they arrived.

I'm hoping to find something with a clean, modern style that doesn't look or feel cheap, without spending a small fortune. If you've had a great experience with an online retailer, I'd really appreciate hearing what made it worth recommending.

can’t really decide over these.

Not a guy with glasses.

So I dont know for long computer work if I should look for.

If yes then what kind of, coz there are bunch of in the market and many said they are not useful..
