i need new glasses. until now I've been getting locally from a small neighborhood glasses store. but their quality has been declining for years now. where do most people buy normal glasses from? and what can i expect to pay?
Hello!
I am on the hunt for small oval/round glasses similar to any of the glasses below
I have so far only found miu miu glasses and they're a little too expensive for me and my country only has one style of them available
Hope someone can help me find some brands!
Thanks :)
People with terrible, blind as a bat, living in an impressionist painting kind of bad eyesight - how often do you set your glasses down for some reason (going to bed, washing your face, impromptu sexy makeout session with a stranger) and when you go to put them back on, you can’t find those suckers?
Like last night I was reading in bed all tucked in and cozy. When I was ready to go to sleep and take my glasses off, reaching out and across to set them on the nightstand would’ve disrupted my cocoon. So I just set them on the other side of the bed. Yes there were a few other things also sitting on the bed - my laptop, basket of nighttime beauty ritual creams and concoctions, my neck fan, and a can of mixed nuts for some reason 🤷🏼♀️.
Cut to morning, I go to put my glasses on, and I can’t find them! The lighting in the room has changed, I’m a little discombobulated waking from a sleep, and my classic outstretched arm, tapping every little thing until you land on what feels like what you’re looking for system wasn’t finding them. I had to sit up and reach into the night stand for an old back up pair of glasses so I could see well enough to look around and find current glasses, which were right there the whole time. I just couldn’t see them. Because I needed them in order to see them. 🤦🏼♀️😡
This also happens when I’m getting out of the shower, washing my face and I set them on the counter, put them up on my head when I need to really see something on my phone and have to hold it so close that the tip of my nose is touching the screen. Usually results in me swinging my head all around trying to find them, yelling “Where did they F’ing GO?!?!?” out loud, regardless of whose around.
I’m not looking for a solution, just some camaraderie from my fellow glasses wearers. You know who you are—the people whose friends with perfect vision are constantly asking to try on their glasses, only to put them on and immediately shout, ‘WHOA HOW DO YOU SEE WITH THESE?!
Fine. We see fine. Now give them back.
I purchased eyeglasses from Costco and they seem to be extra “smeary” and difficult to clean. I have purchased before and this has never been a problem. Just the normal daily dirt. Lol. Has anyone had this problem? I have been debating on bringing them back
Hi, I am looking for someone to buy a lenskart frame, my budget is 5000 (2500 each pair), I need only one of course. Please DM me if anyone is interested.
Hey everyone, hope all is well with the world on your side
It's probably a stupid question, but here goes:
How the bloody hell do people clean their spectacles? My last set of glasses were easy to just wipe off and be done with it (for context I'm a mechanic so alot of liquid debris like petrol, diesel, oil and brake fluid tend to spit into my face and make vision difficult) my last set litterally, just had a cloth with the liquid soap from spec savers and it was enough to clean it properly, now since I've got my new prescription, everytime a rag even touches them it's like it creates a streaky effect on the lense which is rather annoying. It looks like astigmatism, which is why i got the glasses in the first place... only way I'm able to get them cleaner is physically washing the glasses with sunlight and piping hot water and then using toilet paper to dry it off, I'm just wondering, if anyone has had the same problem and how they were able to resolve it or atleast make life easier
Thank you, that is all
Been wearing progressive eyeglasses for years and adapted fine to them. Extremely farsighted (+7) with astigmatism (CYL 1.50) and a 2.50 add. The struggle is with distance. I've had a few different scripts over the years and though reading and medium distance feel fine I've always had to tilt my head up for full far distance focus. I'm updating my script and want to improve this. I'm paying a lot for high end digital lenses. Has anyone been through this and found a solution? My current optician is saying if I raise my segment height (move the lenses up in the frame) then I can correct the distance thing but it'll also raise my reading position. I actually tried that by putting some spacers on the bridge and it does of course fix the distance thing but throws off the close. I've read that one thing that might help is increasing the vertical corridor so there's more space in the lenses from close to far. It's all frustrating because my sweet spot for distance is just about halfway up the lenses - but my natural pupil position is much closer to the top for distance. Anyway if anyone's had experience with modifying the vertical corridor I'd love to hear about it. Thanks very much.
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?
Does anyone have experience purchasing and using glasses from Payne Glasses to share or recommend?
I just purchased my second pair of eye glasses. This time the lenses are progressive. The issue is that I cannot see clearly with these glasses. The window of clear sight is so small it's impossible to see anything but a few words in a sentence. Everything below, above, and to both sides is not clear. I'm on a computer all day, it's been 4 days, and I cannot see. A $6 pair of readers is more effective than the $600 I just spent for check up and new glasses. I go back to the eye doctor today to see what adjustments can be made. If this doesn't help, do I have any options? Or am I just out of luck?
I recently purchased a lenskart air pop glasses with blue screen lens.
And aaj mere roommate ne ispe hath rakh diya and frame side se tut gya.
I haven't used it even for a week.
I've you have any suggestions to fix it or some jugad it will be helpful to me
This frame looks too good on me.
This is precious to me because I've purchased it on my own earnings and some savings.
That small piece can be fixed using fevikwik but it will be better if you'd some much better solution.
Please help me to fix this thing...
Just got these and I’m still trying to decide if I love them on me. 😅 do you think the shape and size suit my face, or should I try a different style? This is my first time getting eyeglasses this shape!
I feel like the face form angle should be increased cause looking at them they look too flat. I've went to Walmart 3 times and the glasses have never been right; fixed one wonky issue to cause another. They are constantly sliding down and the left side slight lifts up which I have to push down on my ear which doesn't work cause they just move back up. So what do you think will my issues be fixed if my face form angle is adjusted?
The glasses are made of acetate.
Hi, I have been wearing glasses since I was about 8 years old. I have a pretty high prescription, around negative 6 in each eye. I probably could have moved towards progressives 5 to 8 years ago but I've held off, keeping my regular glasses as single vision and then I have office lenses for when I'm at my computer.
I'm about to get a new pair of glasses and I think I'm finally ready to get progressives. While I am primarily excited, I am also nervous about it. I have had difficulty with new prescriptions frequently and recent years and I'm just nervous about how it might work for my eyes and my brain. I know that no one else can tell me whether or not I'll like them in advance. I'm not looking for anyone to tell me how I should feel. I know there's a chance that progressives may not be a good fit for me, but most likely they will be. The computer lenses have been a big help.
I would love to hear people's encouraging experiences of getting progressives when there are higher prescriptions involved.
Or, if you had a higher prescription, and tried progressives and found they didn't work, what were the determining factors?
Thank you!
I currently have glasses for distance, and I don't need them for reading (yet), but viewing up close with my regular glasses still hurts my eyes. My optometrist gave me a prescription for bifocals where the bottom section is just clear with no up-close prescription. Unfortunately, Zenni, where I get my glasses that I can actually afford, doesn't let you do bifocals for anything less than +1.00. Is there a way to get a pair of cheaters that would 'cancel out' my regular prescription? I don't mind doubling-up my glasses for it because I really just use them at home cross stitching or reading, so style isn't a concern - just looking for functionality.
So I bought sport goggles at an optical and they said that crizal is the cheapest lens they have so we went with that. We asked if it has an authenticity card and they said yes, but we did not expect it to be like that.. since i also had an essilor glasses b4 and the authenticity card did not look like that especially since the lens was pricey so I just wanted to make sure.
They said it ws sapphire smth and its polycarbonated
I have negative eye power that to cylindrical
Hello everyone!
For the context: I was living my whole life (almost 30 years) without glasses, thinking that I have a very good vision and just some time ago I started to notice that my eyes get tired very fast. Until I went to the glass shop to select good sun glasses and they asked if I need a prescription. I said, I don't know, never had a test. They suggested to have a test for free and... I have astigmatism :D Went to the doctor, he confirmed and said that I must use glasses.
Soo. I also made a paid test in a local glass shop to get a prescription (PHOTO 1), etc, etc (doctor doesn't provide prescription as the glasses are not covered by insurance for me anyway).
I made another test in the same place later for free and ordered glasses from them with new prescription (PHOTO 2). I definitely see somehow sharper with them but I'm not satisfied overall. I checked both prescriptions.. and.. they are different, but I don't know if it's a huge difference in terms of eye glasses or not.
I can't use them constantly. I know, there's an adaptation period but I wear them for several days and in the end of the day my eyes are so tired of them, I decide to take them off.
I will go and ask to replace the lenses and properly make a prescription. Or even first I will go to another place/doctor for proper prescription.
Now the questions:
Would appreciate any advice and your help!
P.S. The local branch is Fielmann, Germany. So if anybody has experience of remaking glasses with them and it has some specifics, please share them with me. Thanks!
