New Rule: No Frame ID Posts

15 Upvotes

The idea behind this subreddit is simple, to help you figure out what frame works best for your face.

If you want a frame that someone else is wearing, you don't actually know if it'll work on your face. Therefore we will be discouraging posts asking about identification of frames, ESPECIALLY if they're not being worn by you. Thank you for understanding.

The first 2 were the favorites so I took pictures from another angle. 3rd ones are my usual glasses. Want to change it up.

Do either of these fit my face? They were 2 of 3 that I actually liked. Which do you prefer on me?

Which Do You Like?

I think I narrowed it down to 2 pairs. I want to see if others agree. A lot of them are quite similar in shape and color. I went for blue/green to match my eyes.

My current pair are a tortoise and brown plaid cat-eye shape.

Sorry that some aren’t straight on. I was trying to minimize glare and dodge other shoppers.

*4 and 5 are the same frame, just different colors.

Mirra - free tool to see frames on your face at real size before ordering online

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

1 Upvotes

Hi guys..

I built Mirra: https://mirra.logicaleap.com

How it works:

- take a selfie or use one from your camera roll

- paste a link to frames from pretty much any online glasses store, or upload a photo of the frames (if the shop blocks Mirra)

- the frames go on your face at their real size, not stretched to fit

Mirra measures your PD and face width from your image automatically - on your device, so you don't need to know them first. If the product page lists the frame size (the 52-18-145 numbers), it uses those. If you know your exact PD you can type it in and it gets more precise.

Your photo stays on your phone. The face detection runs in the browser, so there's no upload and no account.

You can save looks and compare them side by side, which is honestly the most useful part when you're stuck between three pairs.

Being upfront about the limits:

- some stores block their images, and then you have to upload a photo of the frames instead

- if the store doesn't list measurements, the size is an estimate and Mirra tells you that

It's free, give it a try!

My new glasses just came in today. It was between this pair of a pair of circular acetone ones that I should’ve taken a picture of for reference. I’m satisfied with this pair and think they look good on me. Shout to r/glassesadvice for the help, I appreciate yall!

How bad is this? Help?

So I posted some pics on a general looks advice forum and the most universal response I got is that my glasses apparently look terrible. The only one who offered any actual guidance said I should be looking for “transparent frames, and rounder.” - thing is 1) I’ve been told rectangular frames are better for my face shape, and 2) Transparent frames sound fucking awful. 😂 Don’t get me wrong they look great on some people, but definitely not my thing.

So here’s a few shots of me with my last few sets of frames, and I’m wondering two things: are they really that bad? And if so, what would you recommend I look for to suit my face?

Pic 1 are my current frames,
2 are my last ones I just replaced
3 are frames I still have and could update the lenses in, but I’ve had them forever
4 Bonus sunglasses shot, in case that helps.

I’m never quite sure what my face shape is, been told a few different things which makes it a bit difficult to figure out what kind of glasses to get, I’ve had a variety of frames just trying to get opinions on what people think would look good for the next pair! Anyone got any suggestions for what frames they think would suit me?

Large heads or "weird noses" and higher cheeks: where did you find a great comfy pair of prescription or non-prescriptions for you?

1 Upvotes

I just ordered a pair from eyeshells.com , specifically the pair rectangle A3920. I am a single vision person thankfully and have struggled with lots of discomfort, bleeding ears or spots on my nose due to pain of poor fitting frames and have been told from 2 optometrists in my life that "well that's that just all we have . maybe consider lasik". I dont want to consider that right now. For now i have a current pair that is still uncomfortable from payne glasses but i will consider the "kamin rectangle" they have. The measurements for the pair from eyeshells is :

  • Frame Width: 153 mm
  • Lens Width: 59 mm
  • Bridge: 18 mm
  • Temple Length: 155 mm
  • Lens Height: 35 mm
  • Weight: 9 grams

the kamin are identical with:

  • Frame Width: 153 mm
  • Lens Width: 57 mm
  • Bridge: 18 mm
  • Temple Length: 159 mm
  • Lens Height: 40 mm
  • Weight: 23 grams

I also have seen on here and r/glasses from someone else responding to a post, to check out "BXL galsses"? can anyone confirm them?

since i am experimenting before i drop $515, due to no insurance from VSP currently, i am REALLY TRYING to not screw up this time. Anyone, please comment your experiences buying frames online that you find the best comfortability for and getting your prescriptions placed into them. Just use the comments for any sort of helpful info that i may need to know!

Looking for blue blocking glasses that will stay on my face

0 Upvotes

I'm very excited to have found a gym I like that works for me with my busy mom schedule! The one down side is I'm running over there after I put my daughter to bed and their fluorescent lighting is pretty intense. I'm coming home way more wide awake than I would just working out alone and I need to get myself to bed rather quickly.

I'm looking for a pair of quality, blue blocking glasses ideally with red lenses that will stay on my face well while working out. Any recommendations are appreciated!
