    I can speak for both cheap and expensive, honestly I have a pair of 10 year old Gucci frames, a cartier frame but since in my area (Milwaukee Wisconsin) people are being killed over their glasses here so I have been daily wearing a cheap pair of Zennis and when we go on dates or leave the city I'll wear my more expensive frames. :/ It's sad people are being robbed and beat for some frames.

    • @reds1325
      @reds1325 Před 2 lety +1

      I should add that I paid $60 for the Zenni glasses but honestly the feel of the Cartier or Gucci frames are amazing and it's really a confidence booster the Zennis are like your work lounge type not as great of feeling but gets the job done.

    I only picked up the sarcasm when he talked about cheap mass produced famous glasses being better than handcrafted obscure ones because he had such a serious tone and demeanor throughout. I have had Prodesign Denmark prescription glasses with a thin light frame for a month now and my only complaint is them sliding forward so I may need to get them adjusted but I'm still debating if it's too negligible to adjust them.

      @@thespectaclefactory Yeah! I definitely like them also! Pretty nice for the price and they're my first prescription glasses. I just found out at the end of March that I have mild astigmatism causing the tiniest bit of nearsightedness so fine objects at a distance are slightly fuzzy for me which is extremely close to yours which you mentioned in your video on astigmatism. If I recall our prescriptions are nearly identical which is funny and cool. Although the glasses don't make a night and day difference, especially being such low prescription (basically -1 and even less), it is noticeable and appreciable. I don't technically have to wear them all the time but I do just for the quality of life improvement and because I learned to love glasses as both a fashion accessory and functional tool.

    This video deserves more thumbs up, I was Very confused at first but I like it. Honestly I do own a pair of $150 sunglasses and they are By Far the best glasses I've ever own. But I got them because I love the style and the look, and I know Oakley has exceptional lenses. But I feel like people hate on the price tag and it makes me self- conscious. Did I pay that much because they're worth that, I thought yes, but maybe I paid that much because it's Oakley and they charge whatever they want... Either way I do love them, but I wanna learn more, I appreciate the video

    while i dont support luxotica i do like oakley.unlike other brands oakley dont just stamp a logo.truebridge does work and glasses are extreamely comfortable.also oakley military contracts mean they are genuinely strong if in range,and as someone whos squashed a fair few, stand up well in standard range.i will say i had quicksilvers in youth that shed the rubber temple skin and online discounts that were better but picking out things like TI and spring hinges help.picking either end of a brands selection has risks and you shouldnt base purchase on any one factor but reaserch what your getting.

    Sarcasm was almost too much good job we know you. So where do you stand with Nike sports sunnies? Sadly I think the customer was trying too hard to be seen out with the brand. If you meet someone who is very wealthy they have an under stated look where you need to know what they are wearing look at someone like Richard Branson the next time he's interviewed.

    With basically everything, you get what you pay for. You don’t have to be wealthy to own fine sunglasses, you may have to budget, save up to buy them, but if you want high quality and wicked style in sunglasses ( who doesn’t? ) if you know, you know.

    My two favorite glasses brands are MYKITA and Lunor, they are exceptional quality and are both hand made in Germany. MYKITA glasses are similar to Reykjavík Eyes, they are hingeless and very flexible. Lunor glasses are my go-to brand for rimless models. They have a timeless design. I have glasses and sunglass from both brands that I have worn almost daily for 6+ years.

I rather have thin, water replant, Anti glare , anti scratch & photo chromatic (in beautiful colours) this kind of price me out; for the moment from higher end brands because lens are costly, unless reglaze them which have thought of doing. I do agree however that choosing correct the frame is very important . I do love your content its very informative and helpful for us the consumer particularly regrading different lens combinations.
