A question-
Anyone know of a ‘sunglasses retailer’(or company) that is consistently forthcoming -informative re: size?
EXAMPLE:
This woot!/Ray-Ban page is a-okay with specs given for all variations of the ones they are selling this time:
Lens: Glass
Eye Size: 58 mm
Bridge Size: 14 mm
Temple Size: 135 mm
but when shopping online, it has been very difficult to find ‘search by size’ as an option with any consistency, or a site that offers ‘small frames’ as an option to focus your search results OR- edited blah-blah.
Do you know of any sites with easy to find & grasp guide on how-to measure lens size/temple etc-- insert here my typical too many examples and tedious⋆overlytypings.
SAY! …if anyone actually reads this? I apologize for my weirdobad mumblyjumble splartch’t messmop of a brain.
This is definitely not exactly what you’re looking for, (and it’s probably more user-friendly if you’re looking for glasses on their site) but I’ve always really liked how well Zenni Optical does their sizing stuff.
There’s a lot of talk about brands and monopolies and countries and price-fixing going down here, but not a lot of talk about spending bloody $85+ on sunglasses .
Good info here but I don’t see anything wrong with brands using the same factories to make their products.
Before buying any sunglasses you should watch this 60 Minutes report on the company that makes them. Ray-Ban, Oakley, Chanel, Coach, and prada sun glasses, just to name a few, are all made in the exact same factory with the same materials and man power by one company in Italy, Luxottica. They artifially control pricing on all of these brands. Stay away
