    Default I need to get glasses

    I need to take advantage of my eyecare benefits. I haven't worn glasses in the last 4 years since I lost my last pair. Don't like contacts.

    Thinking of these Prada's:



    Nice?
    Anyone wear glasses on the regular? What's a good looking pair that would last fashionably?

    I'd check out Warby Parker if I were you. They have some good looking glasses, they are cheaper than other retailers, and they do the whole "home try-on" thing where they will mail you frames to check out.

    I was going to get a pair through them but I never knew that you had to get a new prescription (that eye glass prescription can expire). Seems like a BS scam to me. I just wanted a new pair of the same prescription and they told me I couldn't do it.

    Thanks Buddy!
    Yeah, I just found that out to that I needed my prescription renewed. Seems funny since I most likely would have not bought a new pair and continued wearing the ones I got 5 years ago.
    Money is not really an issue since my company will pay for it. I like the designer frames due to how they fit on my face and they seem more durable.

    what's wrong with sparking a little conversation? It's not like I'm going to be 100% influenced by people's opinions.

    in my pic i posted, those are tommy hilfigers... but they're merely a popular style similar to the one in the OP. just a little cleaner design.

    i like 'em, but no real reason to pay extra just for some stupid fashion brand (long story).

    still... only way to know for sure is to fit empty frames to your face and see how they look. if possible, bring a friend along so you can get an honest 2nd opinion.

    I tried them on last night shopping for frames. I don't impulse buy so I left giving myself 3 days to mull.

    Cost is no issue since my company is buying.

    Yeah, I like this look too. I'm just thinking if this look would get dated. i'm not one to keep on upgrading
