…and I already don’t like them.
I really dislike the process of looking for new frames. Most of anything I get ends up hurting after awhile anyway, so I just tend to get whatever the most comfortable thing is.
This pair is a set of “Clark Kents”. Big, black frames with a really square look. I sort of like the looks of them (at least more than the others I was looking at) but I end up looking like Cory Doctorow with a beard. There were a couple of other pairs they had that I may take a look at this weekend. Gotta love that 30-day guarantee.
Used to be I’d get one of two styles. Either some black horn-rims or just Lennon specs. They don’t seem to make either anymore.

I have a pair of titanium frame wire rims - they are awesome. Light, small - the most comfortable glasses that I have ever owned, and they simply do not bend out of shape - they spring right back. As I am a bit worse than 20/100 in both eyes, my glasses can get heavy - these are just great.
But it is quite annoying to have a pair that squeeze the bridge of your nose (or ride down the steep slope that my poor nose has) or that cut into the backs of your ears. I hope that you get used to them.
I’ve switched over to plastic frames for now. The last several wire-rims I had were just painful and too easily bent out of shape. I think it’s the pads that rest on your nose that hurt so much. At least with most of the plastics I’ve worn, they sort of cradle on top of the nose instead of dig into it.
These were with Lens Crafters, so I have 30 days to make up my mind. Thing is I’m pretty sure my mind is already made up. It was between these and another pair last night, and I think I’ll just go in and swap them out.
