No one sells pince nez glasses for nearsighted people.
- pacaro 7y agoI suspect that you'd need to get lenses made for a vintage frame. I don't think that pince nez has been a commercially viable option for about 100 years
- h2odragon 7y agotry talking to a jeweler?
- virmundi 7y agoI know. I just want a Zenni of Pinces.
- ficklepickle 7y agoA quick look on eBay turns up a ton of results. Lot's of very cheap ones, but not exclusively. For $60 shipped, these[0] ones are made in France and have Hoya lenses. I know nothing about lenses, but Hoya seems to be respected from a quick google. I think they are out there, just not being aggressively marketed by VC-funded lifestyle brands. But hey, there's a startup idea. You just need to make pince nez fashionable by getting some retrosexual hipsters on Instagram to adopt them. Then, profit? For some reason I associate wire-framed pince nez glasses with eugenics, not sure why. I'm sure that's just me, but maybe run a focus group just to be sure.

- virmundi 7y agoI’ll look into it. Don’t know where to get custom lenses. I figure it out. Thanks.
