    Neither of the people in those photos need glasses. Or, those glasses have plano lenses; there’s no distortion at the edges.

    Large frames like those require very hiugh index lenses, because otherwise your lenses get really thick at the edges. My prescription is fairly bad, and I need 1.67 index to avoid stupidly heavy lenses.

    Also, frames without nose pads don’t usually stay put on your face. I find them very uncomfortable, esp. since I have to wear glasses for everything.

      Off-topic. I’m wearing without nose pads now, because they also didn’t stay put for me, and caused headaches.

      As life long user I can only say glasses suck.

        Damn straight they do.

        The extra-shitty part is that the lens in your eye gets less elastic as you age. I’m myopic; if I had gotten LASIK years ago, I would now be hyperopia, and would need glasses to read anything.

        I would 100% replace my eyes with cybernetic ones if it was possible.
