So My Glasses Broke. Looking For Suggestions

[Bruce Wayne]

My glasses broke again. I am looking for some replacements that have a vintage feel to them. What I would really like is some Pince~nez, but I don't know of any company that makes new ones.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanx!!!
Charlie

Frankly, I recommend LASIK - once you've got 20/20, you can wear any glasses you like! -dixon cannon

I asked my eye doc about that & my eyes are too far gone for LASIK. I am farsighted & have a LOT of astigmatism.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! Now to decide whether I should get a hard or spring bridge.

I've got no help there--but I did just order a pair of Savile Row Pantos for myself (not from Vintage Optical).

Hey there,

I work at an optical shop. I don't need prescription glasses but I am a sunglass fanatic.
After going through the Ray-Ban phase that seems to have sweeped the world over the past ten years I've checked out a few other brands.
Persol, I've seen a few of their 649 frames made into prescription with a nice effect and I own 2 as sunglasses, one in a nice light havana color and the other is black with blue lenses, love them both.
Moscot as well seems pretty vintage inspired, I picked up two of the Lemtosh frames, they're a little small for me, even though I got them both in the large size, I guess that's the price you pay when your brain is just SO MASSIVE.

Anywho! Good luck!

Either look around in antiques malls or shops, or go to WarbyParker.com. All glasses are vintage inspired, designed and produced in house so lower costs as no designer overhead, new styles every season, all old styles always available, sample frames available 2 - 4 at a time, all glasses $100 each w prescription (you provide the prescription, free shipping for everything), and with each pair that you buy, a pair is donated to a visually impaired individual in a third world country. I wear Warby Parker exclusively now for years.

Matt Deckard did some work with an LA eyeglass store a few years back he might have some insights.

My wife has an astigmatism, but the lovely folks at Classic Specs in Brooklyn still sorted her out prescription glasses and sunglasses in a few days, after she took in a copy of her prescription when we were visiting last year. Nice people, great vintage flavoured products, and only $89 per pair all in! A large range of frames in differing shades, choice of coloured lenses, anti-reflective coating, a hard glasses case AND free shipping, both ways of you need it! Hell, you can even get 'em to send you a box of frames to try on... can't recommend 'em highly enuff!

I got a pair of these with Evergreen lenses:
