HI, asking those who have more or less expertise in reading glasses lenses.

I have the following vision parameters:
OD - sph: 6.25, cyl: -2.25 , ax:170
OS - sph: -5.25, cyl:-2.25, ax:180

As you can see, quite complicated, high myopia + astigmatism.

So, thinking a lot about what glasses to choose. I need quite thin.

My current glasses, are Nulux (HOYA?), the index 1.67 I think. not sure about the coatings.

Now thinking to buy new ones. But confused between Hoya and Seiko.
Shall I choose 1.67 again?

And what about coatings? I am reading that special coatings can be applied:
-anti blue
-anti UV and etc...

I wear glasses all the time.

What is better 1.67 ? or 1.74? Hoya or Seiko? Are extra coatings worht spening money on?
Seiko is more expensive in my place, but as I read the difference aint much...

I've had these glasses for a bit, but I'm starting to second-guess if the rounder shape actually suits my facial features or if they're a bit too overwhelming. For context, I have a softer, slightly heart/oval face shape. Should I stick with this style?

I get it’s hard to say without them physically being on my face.

Help me select one of these based on overall attractiveness and let me know if you got any suggestion

I always struggle with deciding what frame shape suits my face and also struggling with the fact that I always need wider frames to look proportionate. 🥲 hoping to pick up my first pair of prescription sunglasses and a bit stumped. I think I like one and two best but please let me know your thoughts! Thanks in advance ❤️

Posting again! Ive been using glasses for a while and currently I have rectangular frames (as some of you said it looks better on me!) but I wanted to try something different. And I need to use glasses all the time, so thats something to consider!

Bonjour 😊

Je recherchais quelque chose d’assez précis ( rond et doré ) et le modèle que j’étais venu voir au départ n’était pas disponible.

L’opticien m’a proposé celle ci, qui repose sur le nez par une « bascule » en titane, j’étais assez perplexe au départ, mais j’ai fini par m’y habituer, en regardant la photo de temps en temps.

Je dois donner une réponse demain concernant l’achat…

Vous en pensez quoi ?

I posted the 2nd pic yesterday and the verdict was it's too big which I agree with. What do you guys think about the frame in pic 1 , is it still too big ? Thanks 🙌

Which of these 3 are the most flattering? 2 of them are identical, just different colors.

Hi

I have broken my half frame glasses. The lens is coming away from the frame.

Opticians want to keep lenses and change frames but currently I’m away from home and don’t have a spare set. Also one lens is damaged anyway 6month into ownership.

If I dab glue onto them now will it limit my options later if I do decide to change the frames and keep the lenses.

Any other suggestions for repair.

(Sorry it's me again, i just found my photos with my old glasses on)

I am going to get new glasses soon. So can anyone please give me glasses reccomendations? I can't get contacts due to dry eyes and blepharitis

Do i need to try more?
——ohh i love reddit people

Have worn my 999.9 frame for about 4 years, and recently I have been feeling the temple is pressing quite hard on my head, leaving deep grooves on both sides, so I decided to get a new frame.

Been to a famous eyewear shop in London, tried a lot, got the two finalists Dita DTX 168 and Lindberg 1014, both were very comfortable when I tried them. But I have quite high myopia, so a little bit concerned about the comfort after putting on prescription lenses.

For Lindberg, one concern is that the width is not enough for my head, which may cause the temple to press my head again, like the 999.9 one I have.

For Dita, the lenses seem larger than the ones on the Lindberg, which could be extra weight, which could lead to the temple being adjusted to fit me, which may also result in pressing my head.

Any advice? Really appreciate it if any!

Even though people tell me they look feminine I think they look masculine,. What do you think? Maybe someone could suggest a more feminine shape Than that. My face shape is kind of square I guess

Hi,
my old glasses broke and I need new ones. Which pairs suit me best?

The last pair (picture 8) is the one I received yesterday, but I noticed that when I smile, my cheek touches the frame a bit. Luckily, I can still change them. I just chose the first pair (pictures 1 and 2).

I have a stronger prescription, so thicker frames help hide the lens thickness better. Pairs 1 (2) and 3 hide it best, pair 4 is more of a middle ground, and the other frames are quite slim.

Did I make the right choice, or should I go with something else instead? The pair I chose is also available in black.
