I recently ordered two pair of glasses a couple weeks ago from EyeBuyDirect. This was my first ever online eyewear purchase.
One pair is great - titanium frames, prescription seems fine, very nice. About $120, partly because of the frame cost and partly because progressives simply cost more. The other pair is plastic, their "Milk" frame, and will not work at all; the temple arms are spread out at the back, the spring hinges aren't, and they fall off of my face if I move my head. Overall they seem flimsy; had I tried them at the store I don't think I would have chosen them. These were to be my sunglasses (purchased with 80% gray tint). Of course they will allow me to return them, no questions asked, and I'll be out a few dollars for shipping. No big deal. I'm more than happy with the dealer. They just don't have many plastic frames that will take a progressive lens. So I finally get to the point of my post: I need a pair of sunglasses. I prefer prescription sunglasses (my previous couple pair had the "magic clip" that went on, which is OK, but not great, and seems to cause excessive wear for me). Am I expecting too much for plastic frames? I like the idea of plastic for lighter weight and not getting blazing hot in the car. I have always had metal frames since high school, as lens tech has improved they aren't too heavy anymore (not so much back in 1980). Are there any plastic frames that are favorites for any of you?
