    I’m talking about the frames, no need to try to be offended on someone else’s behalf, I wasn’t talking about the lenses.

    Gigantic and gaudy specs are a thing, sorry you hadn’t noticed

    Edit - I’m talking about this phenomenon, seems to be a thing in western Europe at the mo, in affluent circles -

      At least those are big, the ones that woman is wearing have both a thick and small frame which makes a truly horrible effect.

      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.
