what happened to glasses?
- throwway120385 3y agoThey fog up and fall off. Sometimes very far off. Farther than I'm willing to climb.
- Vecr 3y agoGet a nerd strap for them?
- hammyhavoc 3y agoIf your glasses fall off then it sounds like a fit or material issue. Rimless titanium wire (hingeless) with polycarb lenses and they'll stay put in the most extreme of conditions with a sensible arm design.

- hammyhavoc 3y ago"the most extreme of conditions", so I'm not sure why you wouldn't think this includes sports or physical activities.
- armitron 3y agoCan you link to some examples of such frames?
- hammyhavoc 3y agoGoogle "rimless titanium wire hingeless frame polycarb". You'll find plenty. As they're hingeless, you get far superior fit. They weigh much less than standard glasses, as such, they don't slip.
- loeg 3y agoI google those and the ones I see do not look like they would stay on your face if you were upside down, for example (and less extreme positions, of course, but that's easiest to describe). I wear glasses and contacts, and do sports, and contacts just work a lot better for sports. Glasses are totally fine for sitting at a computer or walking around or driving.
- seized 3y agoSome of us have high prescriptions which make glasses expensive and horribly unpleasant to wear regardless of frame size or lens choice. I am at -11.5 and with enough astigmatism that modern LASIK isn't an option, id have to get the old "slice a flap off" style. Hard pass.
