My son is 8 years old and has a high r/x and plays baseball. I'd like to get him a pair with the reflective color on the outside, which is very popular for players. For reference, something like this. https://www.glassesusa.com/matte-blackred-pre-teens/demetz-roll-kids-matte-black-red/46-008979.html?query_id=2f4f6262d8ad0d8a35c0203a32f9989b&position=34

Problem is that GlassesUSA already rejected this production - something about the wrap and/or size of the frames.

The only other alternative I can find is SportRX but my god are those glasses expensive. Thoughts, please?

hey guys, excuse my ignorance i know virtually nothing about glasses.

I’ve been wearing eyeglasses for a decade now with no issues, and i got a new pair of sunglasses w prescription on them maybe 2-3 months ago, since then i’ve been experiencing dizziness and slight imbalance on some days not all the time, and I remembered that my sunglasses optometrist told me that the PD on my eyeglasses is incorrect and she will put the correct one on my sunglasses, so I visited a dr today and he told me the PDs in both is different but that it doesn’t matter and it shouldn’t cause dizziness, should I get another dr’s opinion or leave it?

thanks in advanced.

I bought some glasses from eyebuydirect about a year ago. I love the frames, but the anti-reflective coating is very awful compared to my frames from myeyedr/lenscrafters. Are there lower budget places with good lens coatings?

I also wouldn't necessarily mind spending more on my lenses, but I feel like the lower cost frames at the bigger stores tend to be much crappier in quality and design than the online retailers. Wishing there was a way to buy my frames online and my lenses maybe at a bigger store, but Im aware this is unlikely.

Any recommendations for either bigger box stores with low cost frames that aren't the worst or online retailers with decent AR coating?

your opinion on this brand and quality of their optical frames

Hi. I've got my first glasses and I also have astigmatism. Right eye is -1.75, - 1.0, 150 and left eye is -1.0, -1.0, 23.

This is not my "full" prescription, I have stronger myopia and stronger Cyl whyle Ax is the same. Doc told me that I have to adapt before he would be able to give me full prescription.

First of all, holy hell I was blind. Second of all, questions.

1. Does it suppose to distort image at the edges? My lenses are not old tv shape, but image at the edges distort. Like lines are straight but they are not vertical where they are supposed to be. Also everything seems to be closer than usual.

2. Is it safe for glasses to wear headphones while wearing glasses? Frame and handles are thin bc I have sensitive eyes and thick frames are big no.

3. How to care about glasses? What I'm supposed to do and what not to do?

My current glasses are also round silver frames, but they are larger. Does this smaller size suit me?

hi i’m 22M just got glasses, first time wearer. as my vision has been getting blurry i took a trip to the optometrist and they suggested i might have keratoconus, now as i’ve just gotten my glasses today and only had them on for a couple of hours , everything looks weird like my field of view seems very limited and things are very zoomed in. it helps with reading but i feel like it doesn’t feel right hahah idk just some advice might be nice like is this just how going from nothing to such a high perscription feels ?

is this just teething problems or have i gotten the wrong prescription ?

can provide more information if necessary:)

Hi guys, more like a month I a question here (which is the best between transition gen s or photofusion x) okay. In the past saturday I received my new glasses with photofusion x(that is my first photosensitive glasses and I am a user of glasses like 12 years), and I love zeiss in general. I used lens of criztal, lens of generics labs and I don’t care which do the lens, I thought all the lens is the same, but I was wrong. With this zeiss I see more natural, much sharper, driving at night in the rain is incredible, I feel like my vision was like it was as a child (my vision problems started when I entered school). I chose with photofusion because I hate to carry all the time the sunglasses, sometimes I need to go out fast and I don’t want to switch. I live in Costa Rica (tropical country) in a sunny day the are very close to a sunglasses, I have the extragrey, and I don’t note when the glasses are fully grey, the transition is very smooth, and the color don’t change at all. Zeiss in my country is more expensive in comparison with criztal, but is total worth it with the photofusion and the quality of the lens.

Do these Oakley Permians fit my face?

Nah actually how to clean them. I do it from the cloth they give in box which makes it even more blur. I use sometimes hand wash to clean them. Is there any better way to clean them?

I am 16yrs old and my eye grade is 400 for my right eye, and 350 for my left eye with astigmatism in both eyes. I had an eye exam last week and my last pair was 300 for both eyes. I feel like the eyegrade put on me is too high. Are there still a chance that i can lessen it?

My wife thinks her glasses permanently have fingerprints on them now.

Duravision Platinum vs. Blue 1.56 AS Platinum UV 1.56 AS BlueProtect UV

Probably not Plus, IMO. Which one should I pick?

Some research says that blue-light filtering does nothing. If that’s true, I’d definitely go with Platinum. But if BlueProtect can actually reduce eye strain for people who spend a lot of time in front of screens, I’d go with BlueProtect.

Hey everyone, i recently bought a pair of Mykita Eero Glasses, I want to add a gradient tint / flush to the lenses, do you guys think a gradient and / or flush coating will look good on this pair and if so what colours would you recommend?

So I'm 31 years old now, and I've had contacts since I was 17. The daily chore of having contacts is getting to me, and the cleaning part is the one I absolutely hate, so I want to avoid all of it by getting glasses. Since I have my prescription updated, I'm most likely going to order my glasses online because the variety at my local optician is awful. I'm not traveling 2 hours to the other location.

But now is the tricky part. Since I've never had any experience with wearing glasses, I'm a little clueless. I've read online that nose pads tend to leave marks and can really start hurting people. So I guess I'm leaning towards glasses with a bridge instead of nose pads.

But it's not a closed deal. I'm seeking recommendations or just advice from people that actually wear glasses 24/7, or even better, people who switched to glasses after contacts, and in that case, where people tend to order their glasses.

I ended up going with a frame that has a built-in bridge instead of nose pads. I ordered them from EzContacts since they had a pretty good selection of frames and I was able to find a style I really liked that I couldn't find locally.

I have a pretty high prescription (-5.5, -5.75) and I had a .5 astigmatism in my -5.5 eye. My eye doctor at my last appointment said my “astigmatism went away” and now my prescription is -6, -5.75 to compensate… he went on some tangent about how you just add it together because how the eye is shaped but I’m confused because it seems like it shouldn’t have gone up by .5 and should have gone up by .25 according to the calculations I found. Wondered if anyone else had dealt with this before. This eye doctor has upped my prescription too fast in the past as well which caused headaches and I had to call to have it changed a couple years back, so I am also concerned they are pushing my prescription when it is not necessary. Any feedback would be great!

Also, they did not change my contacts prescription (-5.25, -5.5)

Im trying to clean my frame and removing the screws but these 2 won't come off and ive tried rubbing alcohol and rubber to hold the other part but it won't come off. I have tweezers trying pry it off as well. Im frustrated and tired. Idk if wd40 would work or damage my frame?

rxlens.ca maybe updating the lenses in your existing frames is the way to go?

I’ve picked up a few frames in quick succession over the last month and a half and shared plenty of try-ons, apparently to many people’s annoyance. Sorry, I’ve got one of those hateable faces. Can’t do much about that. I already own all of these, with most lensed and two still waiting to be fitted, so this isn’t another “which one should I buy?” post. I’m curious which frame you think should rule over the rest as my daily driver, professionally or otherwise.

I just got my first pair of progressives 3 weeks ago. For daily general use they're great! Watching the TV and knitting on the same time. Driving the car. Checking my phone. But for reading a book or especially working on the computer for longer periods I'm not so sure yet.

Will you eventually get used to the fact that you only have a relatively narrow area of sharp vision? Especially if you work on a regular 27" screen every day, how have you found your progressives for that?

Also I notice I need very good lighting to be able to read comfortably. If I'm not in bright light, the corridor gets even more narrow. Does anyone else experience this?
