I ordered 47 eyeglass frames from Aliexpress and it cost me less than a single frame.

3 days ago by mountainRadish to c/dull_mens_club

I don't like dem changes, it makes me go crazy for some years.

I researched shelf life of the plastic used and I already know the rate which my eye glasses break. So I will be rocking these for the next decade or more.

That's it dear dull men.

I understand your reasoning, but 47 still sounds like a lot but that's just me. Knowing my (old) eyesight do decline regularly, I would not order more than a few at once. But as someone who see little interest in changing for the sake of changing and is deeply allergic to the way glasses are overpriced around here... That's quite smart, I must say.

I've never used Aliexpress (public confession mode on), may I ask if there is a way to also select the width of the frame? My head may now be bald as a baby's bottom, It's also fairly thick and broad and standard frames won't fit ;)

Me caveman. Me big head.

  1. I searched a lot, order one frame that looked almost identical to the one I had WHICH was purchased in china's whole sale market by a family memeber.

  2. That frame was OHHHHH YEAH BABY. Even better than mine.

  3. Find reputable seller and those who mention material and dimension. There is ways to.measure your face for a glasses, opticians know that. Youtube is your friend.

But I didn't measure anything the distance between eyes and noss etc. I just compared the dimension of the frame compared to mine.

There is a way they measure eyeglass frames and if you checked many aliexpress listing you will know what to look for

Also you could go to fancy websites where you order lens and frames and you could see how they advise you to measure your head and what size frame suites you.

Oga boga peepeepoopoo poof

Edit: i didn't buy any lense or prescription lenses, I believe expensive lenses live longer and stay scratch free and doesn't yellow... I prefer clear polycarbonate as heavy glasses caused some mark/itch on my nose.

Currently I have a kodak lense.
