Get the lightest weight and most comfortable-feeling glasses you can find. I cut to the chase and went for exactly what the eye Dr. himself was wearing. Frameless & hinge-less, no little screws to fall out. If you keep them on your face at all times except sleeping you won't lose or damage them. Wouldn't own any other kind, same pair 3+ yrs. Sorry I'm no help in the style department.:glasses4:

Flexon frames. I once set on mine and bent them right back to original shape. I have probably had mine for 10 years, just different prescriptions. They are very light weight. Like goldfish says, light is very important. They do have a frame around the glass and support the lenses far better than the frame-less. Get the best poly-carbonate you can afford. Strong and lightweight. ALWAYS clean your glasses under running water, never dry with a hanky or kleenex. I consider myself as somewhat of an expert as I have been wearing them for 58 years. lol

Yes homecloned. Those are sweet! lol. You would probably have to go to Hollywood to buys those. I didn't look to see how old the last post was before I replied to it. He's probably are purchased some by now providing he can find the doctor's office. lol

At Sears I got my eye exam and some rugged black - tortoise frames with slight amber / red tinted polycarbonate. Light, rugged, practically safety goggles. Price was right too! This image shows more of a sun glasses lens. Mine are almost clear.

Frame = PN RS587 color = tortoise

Oh, I see this thread is forty years old. Dont matter, i still posted on it.

Contacts!!
If not go for the Peter Fonda look, I tried the Buddy Holley look a long time ago. It's over rated!
