I got new glasses.

They are the neato Flexon frame ones.

You can actually bend them and they retain their original shape.

My friend had those... but his literally looked like thin wires... it looked really flimsy.

Haha. I told my mom that they make me look like a true nerd, even though I try not to be one (I think most true nerds wouldn't consider me one).

oh well.

I used to be a hardcore Flexon user but after a while I went for more stylish frames + day/night contacts instead.

How far can you bend them? I remember when they introduced frames like that.

 

[CanOWorms]

[Sid59]

Ikonomi - Not a whole lot, but enough to make them worthwhile. I wonder how I could describe it...

CanOWorms - They cost $230, but they had a 50% off deal..so $115 for just the frames. I got the lenses and frames for $215.

Friend has one too - very flexible - Thought it was going to break at one point when I saw the specs bend.

 

[Semidevil]

215? hmm......sounds like you got the slimlite clears no?

Not too bad of a deal considering the frames cost the place you bought them from around $47.

The "budget" frames the place I currently work for sells for $59, real cheapies, costs the store $1.75-$3.95....talk about markup!!! The typical markup on frames in most optical stores, as I've been discovering, is around 4.7 times, except on sunglasses like Oakleys and Maui Jim.....they run exactly double, or 2X.
