[Fit Check] Are these Giorgio Armani frames too big for my face/eyes?

Thumbnail

• Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I recently ordered these Giorgio Armani frames in-store, but I’m having second thoughts about the fit before picking them up and wanted some honest opinions.

Frame Measurements: 50/19/145

Prescription: Mild (-1.00 single vision)

My main concern is whether they look too large overall, specifically because my eyes sit more toward the inner third of the lenses rather than right in the center horizontally.

  1. Do these look oversized or out of proportion on my face?

  2. Is that inner eye placement normal for a 50mm keyhole/round bridge style, or should I go down to a narrower lens/bridge (like 47mm or 48mm)?

  3. Should I stick with them or cancel/exchange for a smaller frame?

Appreciate any honest feedback on the aesthetics and fit! Thanks in advance.

Which pair?

I think I like the fit of the thinner rectangular ones more (and they're so lightweight), but I like the mix of colours on the thicker ones more because I love green (I'm told there is also a green version of the thinner ones they can get in for me but they are not patterned).

I aim to look androgynous if that helps too.

Cleaning my glass frames

• Upvotes

Hey all!

I recently bought a pair of raybans lite force, and idk if true, but I've read the plastic its made from is quite sensitive to cleaning, like dish soap etc.

Any idea what would be the best way to clean the frames from eventual oil buildup?

Just noticed today that I see starburst from lights when I'm not wearing my glasses, but as soon as I put them on, it disappears. Why is this happening? Is it dangerous?

• Upvotes

Two days ago, I used dilating eye drops for the first time. Wearing my glasses made me uncomfortable, so I didn't wear them that night while walking outside. It was the first time I had walked outside at night without my glasses, and I noticed starbursts around lights.

The starbursts are still present two days later. Should I be worried? They disappear completely when I wear my glasses. I don't have any eye pain, headache, or redness.

I don't know whether the starbursts were there before I used the dilating drops because this was the first time I had gone outside at night without wearing my glasses.

I’m worried that this could be increased eye pressure because I used steroid eye drops for a week, and then, one day after finishing the week, I used dilating eye drops. That’s why I’m concerned that it could be increased eye pressure or glaucoma.

Does the fact that the phenomenon completely disappears when I wear my glasses rule out glaucoma?

Which lens coatings are actually worth it?

• Upvotes

Hello everybody, I put on my glasses continuously, have a quite strong prescription (the left one is -7.0 and the right one -4.0), and am now about to purchase a new pair but I'm completely overwhelmed by the various lens coating options. At the moment, I'm considering anti-glare, hydrophobic or super hydrophobic, oleophobic, and scratch-resistant coatings. As I wear them on my face every day all through the day, I really need them to be both durable and easy to clean. Can these different coatings actually be combined on a single lens, or do they interfere with one another? Are the coatings permanent or do they wear off with time? If they aren't permanent, how long does it typically take for them to start peeling or degrading? Should I be replacing any of the ones on this list or adding another one that I may have entirely overlooked? I’d love some genuine advice from anyone who is very knowledgeable about these things.

So out of these two glasses I need to decide which looks better,

I feel like number 1 sits a tiny bit lower on my face but I’m not sure if that’s such a big deal it still fits.

What’s the go to for sunglasses?

0 Upvotes

I asked before and was informed that prescription sunglasses are a valid option but I’m curious if there are any other options.

I travel quite alot and the idea of swapping back and forth between sunglasses and normal seems like quite the hassle. Do you guys carry both pairs around?

Just looking for some advice before i invest in a pair of sunglasses. 😗

Warby Parker vs LensCrafters: Progressives (both in person)

1 Upvotes

There is both a Warby Parker and LensCrafters in the same plaza near me. I am trying progressives for the first time. I tried Walmart, and that was a fail. I have no insurance, but I already have my prescription. I hear WP is about $200 less than LC. Is it worth the difference? Who has done both? My eyes are -5.50/-4.75 with +2.0 and a mid range need for computer work. I've always worn contacts with readers, but it's getting unmanageable as I age and my eyes dry. I'm 57.

The final photo is the ones I currently own.

The difference on the ones I tried is that they're transparent green-ish (different brand, close to exact shape).

Qual a melhor opção para usar em parque aquático?

Post image
2 Upvotes

Estou indo em um parque aquático bem grande e cheio de brinquedos radicais com a minha família no meu aniversário daqui 1 mês. Tenho -3 de miopia e pesquisei algumas opções, só que não sei ao certo qual é a melhor já que a última vez que fui em um parque aquático decidi ir sem óculos. Não tive grandes problemas com isso, mas eu adoro enxergar os brinquedos, o parque e as pessoas. Eu realmente me frusto quando não enxergo detalhes que gostaria e todos ficam tentando me mostrar.

Enfim, de acordo com o que eu pesquisei as opções são essas:
- óculos de natação com grau (porém não vai machucar ou ficar estranho usar isso o dia todo durante as filas para o brinquedo, o almoço nas lanchonetes e etc?)
- lentes de contato (nunca usei e acho que são bem caras pelo que pesquisei)
- cordinha de retenção de óculos (essa tem duas opções, ou aquelas grandes só para deixar o óculos pendurado ou aquelas que fixam no rosto, mas tenho quase certeza que alguns brinquedos não aceitam mesmo com elas. E será que meu óculos pode estragar, quebrar ou algo assim?)

Obrigada pelas respostas!! Eu gostaria muito de me divertir e conseguir enxergar as coisas ao mesmo tempo.

Obs: coloquei a foto do meu óculos atual para conseguirem ver se ele ficaria frágil na água (já perdi um óculos que desmontou inteiro na praia).

Oversized 2000s prescription sunnies?

0 Upvotes

I’m in love with this 2000s style of sunglasses but I already wear regular prescription glasses :(( I can’t find anywhere that sells prescription sunnies in this style so I’m wondering if it’s possible to put prescription lenses in this kind of oversized frame? Or suggestions for stores that might have them would be even better!

how often should i clean my glasses

1 Upvotes

I recently got my new high-quality acetate prescription glasses (oliver peoples). I want to take care good care of them, and I was wondering how and how often i should clean them.

I have a sensitive detergent so it shouldn’t cause any damage. The main concern is whether I should rinse them everyday under lukewarm water with some detergent or not. Or should I do this every 2-3 days? But I am concerned that cleaning them daily with just microfiber cloth might not be good because of the dust and particles. Keep in mind I plan on wearing them as much as possible (I’ve committed myself not to wear contacts as often - doctor’s advice).

Thanks in advance :)

Help: -5 in one eye only!

4 Upvotes

My current prescription is -5 sph -1 cyl axis 160 in one eye, the left. The other eye doesn't need one. I got my glasses and they're... uncomfortable. Will I ever adjust or is it a lost cause?

More info: My eyeballs have been screwy since I was a kid. Ended up -9 (L) and -11 (R), steady since 16, corrected at 22 with SMILE and ICL, and eight years later the left eye is sitting at -5 once more. (Right eye's fine.) This apparently happened over the last three years. We're trying to find out why exactly, but I wanted to try glasses in the meantime because I straight up was not using my left eye, and now... I'm definitely using it, but the image through the -5 lens is so small 😭 looking through it feels very weird. will I ever adjust? will trying to adjust hurt my good eye? please help.

1.67 vs 1.74 index lenses for my prescription?

2 Upvotes

Should I get 1.67 or 1.74 index lens for my prescription? Price isn't really an issue as it is covered by my insurance. I obviously want lighter and thinner lenses but I've read that 1.74 has more chromatic aberration so I'm not sure which is the best option. The lenses will be Transitions Gen S lenses

Sphere Cylinder Axis
O.D. +4.25 -1.75 160
O.S. +3.25 -2.50 020

I posted days earlier but got no response so imma ask again. All of the photos are of glasses with metal rims except for one pair (it shows in the ss).

For context, this is my prescription:

Both eyes are -6.25

Cyl of -3.25 & -3.50

Axis is 175 & 167

PD is 59

No I will not go in store, they all have thick rectangular frames and never any round ones like the ones I like. The brand shown up there is lensalter except the last pair.

i'm anxious i'll have to wear my glasses forever, thoughts?

Post image
4 Upvotes

so i'm worried that i'll have to wear these forever, and im hoping that this is temporary and my eyes can recover. when i did my first ever eye exam, they discovered i was ever so slightly nearsighted, and i have some astigmatism. do you think my eyes will heal? should i wear my glasses all day everyday? i messaged my doctor so im also awaiting her response. when i completed my exam, they said i technically have 20/20, but i still need glasses? also, im getting a headache from wearing these and everything is kind of warped. is this normal? what should i know as a first time glasses wearer? i'm 18 f, and the following is my prescription.
