Eyewear Temple

Recently i bought a Marc Jacobs spectacle frame online. It costs around 140 USD (it had 40% discount, as the merchant said).
The problem is the "Made in Italy" writing inside the temple part easily faded when i sweat. But the code name ( CE MJ 054 807 135) located at the same site hasn't . So does the "Marc Jacobs" writing (and hopefully will not fade away). Is this a sign of imitation designer piece?

it doesn`t matter. but it probubly faded becasue you sweat a lot. i have chanel sunglasses and they are real [bought them at a chanel store] and some of the writing inside is faded.

www.lancier.com Different activities demand different design features. For some, a looped temple end works best, while cable wrap around temples ...

I would like to learn about how the notation describing the frames of eyeglasses should be read.

For example, if a frame is described as 50/19/142, what does that mean? Which one is the Eye? The Bridge? The Temple?

I Do i work at an optical as a receptionest YAY


50 is the eye up and down in the lense
19 is the bridge from side to side
142 is the temple the arm

i beter get best answer buddy lol xoxox

Price: $17.99 $5.50

Ratcheting temples adjust for a proper fit.
Tough, polycarbonate lens provides impact resistance.
Cushioned brow protection for extra comfort and protection

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.

Price: $19.99 $8.32

Handgrip pattern on temple is ergonomically positioned for secure grip
Safety glass and Reading glass all-in-one
Magnification diopter is molded into the polycarbonate lens.

I already own a pair of dark rectangular black frames. I tried the salt frames and the optician says I look sharp in them. I haven't tried the ogas. The last oga with the thick plastic temples would hide some thickness like black rectangular one but the other semi-rimless frames could look weird on me because I have a high minus prescription.

holy moly, you people have some expensive tastes...the third oga is like 500 bucks minimum...i am thinking maybe I should try the salt...it has that retro look and gives me that johnny depp look...plus it's lined with white crystal plastic which will help blend in my thick lens.....do you think the greyish black version of the salt frame would look good on me?

I say 3,6, or eight, but what do care what I think? I'm a guy. huhu. Anyway, I usually relate big bulky frames or just large glasses in general to old greasy men.
