Re: Eye Glasses
I do not know anything about them except they are thinner and lighter than regular plastic lenses. I still have trouble adjusting to wearing glasses when I walk. I can drive well, and prefer to wear them, even when my eyes are not bothering me. But walking is another thing altogether.

Re: Eye Glasses
Trivex are one of the several brand names for thinner-lighter lens materials.....They make no difference to the view from the user side but they do reduce the dent in the bridge of your nose
For those of us who (in previous times) would need the bottoms cut off Coke bottles to see, this is a boon.......

Re: Eye Glasses
What are the cheapest/most inexpensive eye glasses and frames you recommend, without getting a real piece of junk pair?
Or is it like knives, the more expensive are always or generally better?

Re: Eye Glasses
To some degree, it is. My “best” glasses ever (in like 40 years since switching from glass lenses, which were heavy but optically superior) were Zeiss. They are expensive and kinda hard to find, but I think I located an optician 20 miles away who can get them. The place I bought them quit carrying them about 10 years ago and I’ve been “threatening” to drive past the 257 opticians between here and there ever since. Next time!SpyderEdgeForever wrote: ↑Wed Jun 12, 2019 9:00 pm

Were they better because of the lenses? Or because they “nailed? The prescription? Maybe my eyes were just better during that period? Who can say? But I haven’t been able to see as well since.
Just a single data point for you

Re: Eye Glasses
Here in the UK, eye examinations have to meet the NHS requirements- and the price is never more than £25 (Lots of folks get them entirely free)
The same goes for glasses- they have to meet NHS requirements for quality and safety.... So even the cheapest pair of glasses will be more than good enough. Again, lots of folks get them entirely free
As such, I use an online firm called Glasses Direct. Every pair I've had from them has lasted to my next eye test.

Re: Eye Glasses
Thank you. What brand or type do you recommend if you want something more durable, for outdoors' use, that will resist breakage and chipping if dropped, and, which could repel or resist grains and particles of sand, dirt, and rock if they hit it, when hiking and camping?demoncase wrote: ↑Fri Jun 14, 2019 12:59 pmHere in the UK, eye examinations have to meet the NHS requirements- and the price is never more than £25 (Lots of folks get them entirely free)

Go for standard polycarbonate lenses with NO coatings apart from the anti scratch.SpyderEdgeForever wrote: ↑Fri Jun 14, 2019 2:31 pmThank you.

Forget brands or slick metal frames: go with the thickest hipster style retro frames possible.

Re: Eye Glasses
I wear Oakley Servo's when I wear them, I usually wear contacts. I don't care so much for the brand but they're sturdy and they fit my big head. Most frames are too narrow but these fit melon heads like mine.
