Rayban Clubmaster with Prescription

I've been getting couple questions about my Clubmasters, so I'm gonna dedicate a post for my glasses
~Yes, these are prescription.
~ Left: -5 Right:-4.5
~These are men's glasses
Model: RB5154
Size: 49 mm
~ Color: Havana Red (the color doesn't show up well due to the lighting)
Where i got these: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002WIIWJE/ref=oh_details_o08_s00_i00
~No, I won't do a Glasses fetish video, so I would really appreciate it if people stop asking me to read or do all sorts of things without my glasses =____=




Cons: My lenses are already reduced in size, but they still protrude out of the metal rim at the thickest part.
These are probably a better fit for those with lower prescription.
Because these have pretty large lenses, they weigh more and slip down the noses more often than my previous rectangular ones. They also somewhat change the dimension of the cheekbone area due to the concavity of the lens. If you're nearsighted with really bad eyesight, your eye and cheekbone area can look "vacuumed" in.  If that's your case, stick with smaller lenses.
The design/style is also pretty "strong and sharp," it's hard to pull it off as an everyday type of glasses.  What I'm trying to say is that it clashes horribly if you're deciding to wear it with casual sweats and messy buns. That's why I have my old glasses around to wear when I'm feeling lazy or am studying.
Pros: Even though the lenses are thick and oddly protrudes at the metal rims, it doesn't seem to make a big difference in the look.  Luckily, my prescription isn't too bad that my eyes and cheeks look like they're oddly proportioned.
The arms were easily adjusted and didn't require much change to fit my head.
These babies go around getting noticed all the time when I go out.
They allow certain mediocre outfit look sharp and chic.
Random info you might like to know:  The lens are slightly smaller than the available clubmaster sunglasses.  I forgot the numerical value of the size, but I know that the clubmaster sunglasses have a larger rims for the lenses available than the glasses, which I was disappointed to find out.  Since now you know, and wish to get larger lenses just get the sunglass frame and put prescription in them.
There are also some inconsistency as to the production of Raybans in general.  Optical glasses are made in China and the sunglasses are made in Italy. (So if you ever buy the opticals, but it says made in China, it's not a fake it's actually real Rayban) I find this to be a "WTF!" factor but they did this to cut the cost down, I guess...My Clubmasters are still going strong and seems durable, so I'm not exactly complaining.

  2. Now day's Glasses can be a fashion accessory which is show your sense of style. Stylish Eyelasses might be the letest trends but they have some disadvantages. Get your online prescription eyeglasses or designer frames.
