LNC Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 My husband and daughter ordered glasses online without me last night.:glare: I thought wire rims were still "in". I don't like these, but my daughter says this kind of frame is what she sees. They look so bulky! She doesn't need to wear them all day, thankfully. Can you give me your honest opinions. http://www.zennioptical.com/#/?q=382115%20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris in VA Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 I've seen these around here a lot--most "trendy" folks I know don't have wire rims anymore. Mine are wire. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunD Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 Yep, that's what's trendy at the moment. My sister's are similar, and last time I got glasses everyone in the place was trying to get me a similar style, I guess because I look young. I need the bendable frames since I have glasses-grabbing toddlers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Dominion Heather Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 Love them. Yes, those are actually much less bulky than the ones I am seeing around here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary in VA Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 Yup, wire rims are out, at least if you're fasionable (I'm not:001_smile:) The ones your dd picked would be considered in now. And if she wears them when she's supposed to, it doesn't really matter does it? You should hear my dds' comments about my glasses when they see pictures from the '80s!

Lawana Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 Those are very similar to what dd wears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LNC Posted May 21, 2011 Author Share Posted May 21, 2011 Phew - okay thanks! I should know my preteen knows what is "in" better than I do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kchara Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 They're similar to what my DD wears, except hers are metal. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngieW in Texas Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 That's actually what's popular now. I prefer wire rims. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrissySC Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 My new ones are black "geek" glasses. :) They are so the "in" thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anita in NC Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 Those are very similar to what I recently purchased from Zenni. They are not heavy at all. I like them. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nukeswife Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 My 9 year old just picked similar ones but they are light blue in color. She prefers the plastic frames because they don't have the little nose pads like wire ones do, she says the nose pads hurt to much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeenagerMom Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 My almost 11 year old has several pairs of glasses. When you can get them so inexpensively online, why not have several pairs to suit your moods:lol:? (That's DD's stance on the subject). She has wire framed ones that she prefers when she's playing really hard outside, because the nose pads hold them on her face better & she sweats less. And then she has 2-3 pairs of funky plastic frames to mix and match with outfits and her moods. She's due for a new prescription next month and I just can't wait to see what she'll insist on having this time:glare:. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you give me your honest opinions.http://www.zennioptical.com/#/?q=382115%20 Those glasses are great! My take is that if you're going to wear glasses, then wear glasses. Make them funky and stand out instead of blending in with your face. It's a much *younger* look and I agree with your daughter's choice! :iagree: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like them. :D Yes, I have a pair and they're very light. My only complaint about the plastic frames is that they tend stretch over time and I end up having to get the optometrist to tighten the frames or replace them every year or so. (Which they do for free.) My new ones are black "geek" glasses. They are so the "in" thing. :iagree: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
