I wear frames from Garrett Leight when I am not wearing contacts. They make great stuff and his father was the founder of olive peoples which is now out of family hands.

I recently got some frames from a German company called Lunor (found them in Paris). Typical tortoise shell frames, but look, feel and wear nicer than the typical upscale mall brands here in the USA - Georgio Armani, Persol etc.
I bought them through Ebay in Germany because when I looked them up here in the states, the local eyeglasses dealer wanted $700-750 for the frames alone with no prescription... I got them for half that directly through the manufacturer's Ebay. My older frames were a French company called Light-Tec. They are very light weight and comfortable, but a bit modern and too Euro-stylish for my tastes. |

I bought these on Friday. They are Lunor. I paid $475 I think. That does not include the price of the prescription lenses. The boutique gave me that carrying case that holds 6 frames for free. I guess because I bought those Lunors, a pair of Cartier’s, and a pair of Mykita’s. Reminded me very much of something an AD would do. A little Rolex Swag for a good customer.

These glasses made famous by Steve Jobs are also Lunor.

Seconding Eyevan. Also if anyone wants something a little more interesting there's Native Sons. Superb quality as well.

I only have reading glasses and don’t go too crazy on price with them. My favorite sunglasses these days are Persol, I reckon if I needed fulltime glasses I would try some of their’s.

I'm hard on my glasses and for the past few years my Rx keeps changing, so I just get them from Warby Parker.
I had lasik years ago - it never fully worked for me. No complications, just my eye sight was not good, so within a year I was back to wearing glasses. |

Sounds like you did well! The Lunors are very nice. I’ve tried quite a few, but I’ve found a comfort zone with the old school/vintage vibe Ray-Ban frames. Very comfortable, and never thought so...but have actually received compliments Sorry for the weird picture...it’s the most recent I could find that had a good view of the Ray-Bans (daughter and I at the Big Foot museum ) Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

I have gravitated towards Persol. I have a few pairs in both eyeglasses and sunglasses.
