I've always struggled to find prescription glasses that truly reflect my personality. You know, the kind that makes a statement, sparks a conversation, and doesn't look like everyone else's. Being pretty blind (as I like to say) makes the search even harder. It felt like most places only catered to very basic, practical styles. My journey to find fun and unique frames led me down some interesting paths, both online and in my own city, Houston.
My first instinct was to explore local boutiques. I remembered hearing about a place called Smiths Opticians. I haven't bought anything there yet, but I can spend hours browsing their selection of funky, unique, and even vintage frames. They have so many options that I usually can't find anywhere else. It's a great place to get inspired, even if I just end up window shopping (for now!).
Another place that caught my eye was The Eye Gallery. The last time I went, they had a really good selection of more unusual glasses. It's worth checking out if you're looking for something a little different from the mainstream.
Then there's Krewe, located in the Village. I have to admit, they're on the pricier side, but the quality and uniqueness are undeniable. I actually ended up getting a pair of Krewe glasses recently, and I absolutely love them! I get compliments on them all the time. Luxe Eyecare also carries Krewe if you need an eye appointment along with your frame selection.
Since I'm always looking for a good deal, I also ventured into the world of online glasses retailers. I'd heard some good things about cheaper online options like Zeelool and Fytoo. The selection is definitely wider, and they have some pretty wild choices you wouldn't find in a traditional store. I've bought a few pairs from these types of places, and they've been perfectly fine for my needs. My prescription isn’t too strong, just needed for reading, so I get progressive lenses.
Speaking of reading, I recently discovered mozaer.com while looking for some anti-blue light reading glasses. I was spending so much time in front of the computer, my eyes were starting to feel strained. I found a pair there that I absolutely love, and they are super affordable. The selection of glasses on mozaer.com is extensive, so I am sure there is something for everyone. Finding the perfect pair of glasses can be challenging, but online retailers like Mozaer can offer a variety of styles at different price points.
I recently found a pair of reading glasses that have been a total game-changer for me. They're called the Men Reading Glasses Anti Blue blocking Multifocal Progressive Reader TR90 Frame spring hinge magnifier leesbril presbicia custom blue light 0 diopter-C1. It's a mouthful, I know, but they're amazing! The anti-blue light feature has really helped reduce eye strain during long work sessions. The progressive lenses are also a huge plus, allowing me to see clearly at different distances without constantly switching glasses. The TR90 frame is super lightweight and comfortable, and the spring hinges make them feel really durable. I found them on mozaer.com, and I highly recommend checking them out if you're looking for similar features.
