Eyewear Nose

I bought eyeglass frames more than 5 years ago in this little rural GA town; I now live in Central FL and cannot find any glasses for wide bridge noses. The frame I have is from Nine West and it is semi-rimless. Rimless on top. Everyone comments on how good they look, but cannot help me replicate this style. I do not have to have this particular style, just one for wide nose bridges. Any suggestions?

get wire franes, wich could easily adjusted.

thats what my dad did, and it wrkd graet.

Pince-nez eyeglasses..if you are interested in this type of eyewear search flickr.com for photos and info.?
Pince-nez eyeglasses were the most popular eyewear in the early 20th century especially the rimless type. Contrary to currently held myths, a properly fitted pince-nez was both comfortable and secure when clipped on the bridge of the nose... (it was not a "one size fits all") great care was taken in the adjustment to fit the pince-nez to each individual's nose bridge.. thus pince-nez came in a variety of sizes etc.
Interestingly high school and especially college yearbooks of the 1890's to 1910's show the majority of photos of those wearing glasses to be rimless pince-nez. During World War I the recommended eyewear was pince-nez because of the ease in wearing a gas mask. Photos on flickr.com .. search under pince-nez.

Hullo everyone!

I'm due for a new pair of eyeglasses soon, and was considering getting them in a Lindbergh frame. I was attracted to the fact that they seem very discreet, as well as lightweight (so marking on your nose is less likely, 'specially seeing I wear them all the time!).

Even though they sure aren't cheap, they seem worth it and suitable for the way I use glasses, but before I spend that kind of money, I wanted to get some opinions first on how they've worked for other people.

So any thoughts you could jot down relating to your use of these frames (to do with durability, comfort, aesthetics, dreadful eyewear accidents that they miraculously survived-or not,lol) would be a big help!!

Thanks!

I don't have Lindberg's but I just got a pair of Silhouette glasses. It's a similar theory I think. They are all titanium, with built in "hinges" (no screws) and are extremely light. I forget I'm wearing them until I bump them on something (I just got them a week or so ago!).

I also have Silhouette sunglasses from before I needed Rx glasses and they're great for when I'm wearing contacts too.

I think the average price on the frames (without lenses) is $200-350 (American dollars). Mine happened to be $330, but my insurance covered about half!

About two months ago I went in for the first time to have laser hair removal performed on the area in between my eyebrows and above my nose. The doctor told me that normally patients wear protective eyewear but that he could not perform it if I wore them. He told me I would be fine as long as I kept my eyes closed during the procedure. Afterwards I didn't have any problems with my eyes. Today I went in for my second treatment and also did not wear eyewear. Since then (about 2 hours ago) my eyes have been pretty sensitive to light. They feel like they would if I spent a little too much time outside without sunglasses. I have not had any problems with my vision or any significant discomfort, just some sensitivity to light.

Could this have caused any damage to my eyes? Should I schedule an appointment with an opthalmologist?

Yes...that would be very...wise. To get it checked out, I mean. But an even wiser thing to do would be to just wax in between your brows from now on. It's very quick...hardly hurts at all, if you do it right. Unless you have a REALLY bushy uni! lol. Sorry... I probably shouldn't joke, lol. But anyways, just go get it checked out & you should be fine. Good luck! :)

So, i had these glasses for about 5 months. Not until recently, have i felt uncomfortable wearing them. I went to the opticians at the eyewear shop to adjust them for about 5 times, but they still feel uncomfortable.

I went to one shop and they told me that my temple (on the sides) are too short, so i have to constantly push the glasses back into my face making it tight to not fall. The thing is the temple pieces actually go over the bone on my ear, and when i compared it with my old glasses they were just a bit smaller, by 1cm?

I went to the other shop, and they told me that its my bad habit of constantly pushing my glasses back, making it fit very tightly on my face. As a result, leaving these red marks and feeling really uncomfortable seeing through them. They say i should just let them "sit" on my nose.

So the problem that i've been struggling for days is that:
1) Is it just my brain that is messing with me? My mom said its weird how i feel uncomfrotbale about my glasses after 5 months getting them, is anything, it SHOULD be more comfortable or i should have felt the same pain when i first got them

2) I do feel most secure when my glasses are pushed back, so that its closest to my face. Is that not what most people do? Do they just put on their glasses, and , BAM, they sit on the nose, and you don't adjust it anymore, and it feels comfortable?

Solutions:
1) Should i get a new pair of glasses? (contacts - i still have to wear glasses in a day/ surgery/ ortho-k - too expensive)
2) Is it my problem, that i have a bad habbit, it felt comfortable before but i should change it?
3) Would it be possible that overall, my frame is too small?
4) Should i try to buy "silicone" eye piece (i'm not sure whats the difference between silicone and plastic, is silicone more squishy?)
5) Is ortho-k really expensive?

Please, please, please, help me out, offer me your past experience advice. I beg you, i really want help :(

Is it possible you are a growing teen? If you are a male your facial bones might not be finished growing until you are 18. Females usually settle in about 16. That could be responsible for the change you feel.
I used to fit glasses, if yours were too tight when you started no adjustment will make them better.
Also I've noticed lately that the style is for glasses to be worn a bit farther down the nose than it used to be, this should be accounted for when the lenses are put in, but if the optician didn't take that into account you may be trying to see better by shortening the length from the eye to the lens.
In no case should you be feeling pain though so what ever you are doing to your glasses and your face, stop.
