Eyeglasses / Sunglasses Discussion

Hi all - I’m contemplating getting a necklace loop to put my glasses on while I’m not wearing them. I’m finding I’m needing to take them on/off quite a lot and putting them in and out of the case so much is a bit of a faff. Does anyone else use one (and would recommend one)?

I wear a 21” silver ball chain with some GAH pendants. They make a glasses loop but I never have any problems just dropping it right on the chain. I also switched to progressives to avoid having to take them off all the time. Nowadays I have some nearsightedness so no need to take them off much anymore.

Snapped up some Maui Jim Kenui at a good price online. Relieved that they fit quite good.

Those are great. Great fishing lenses, does the shop (if it was s hopp) you bought them from have any more left?

@Giles Bassol Optic out of Barcelona... Almost 150 Euro less than in DK, 1 day delivery UPS and checked that they are a listed dealer...

[Giles]

Great - thank you very much.....

[Giles]

And what style please?

[Tobi]

@Giles Kenui, frame shiny translucent light pink, lenses super thin glass Maui rose. They are glass lenses.. so a bit more scratch resistant, but not ideal for active sports where there can be impacts.

[Giles]

You should be the model for them. They look a bazillion times better on you than the product images

My problem is that just about everything I do is an unintended impact sport

I'm looking for retro styled eye glasses that don't cost a fortune. I've got to many expensive habits already. Looked at JMM but $$$ anything similar? Effector was a possibility but I read they're very narrow. I'm a large x large frame. W i d e face. Currently bored with mine. pic for reference. IH type III in the shot. 14oz

@Tobi

Got mine thanks ….

@Giles They look great on you and Tobi both--remember, low impact lol

[Tobi]

@Giles lookin good! They are a bit on the heavy side, but that has never detered anyone on this forum

[Giles]

The lenses are great and although they are heavy, I don’t really notice that when I’m wearing them.

I had them shipped to my friend who was on the boat with us last week, he lives in France. He liked them so much, he bought a pair for himself
