Hey guys, at Zenni they have memory titanium and pure titanium glasses. Is there much of a difference? All I can think of is that the pure titanium ones cant be bent, which would such for such a nice metal.

Anyone know for sure? thanks!

[manixc]

Wouldn't the memory titanium be the one that bent? Hence the word, memory?

whoops, yea you're totally right. I didnt proof read, sorry!

so the pure titanium ones cant be bent at all? Im hoping someone has tried them from zenni so they can spread the word

We have been hearing outsorcing of jobs.. now its outsoucing of eye glasses. The quality of all these venors are ZERO . If you don't trust me try it out and all I want to say " Good Luck with your eyes"

Well, so far so good for me.
Honestly, with my prescription, I can't really afford to change my glasses more often. These cheap stores provide a good alternative.

Yeah if you could find a good frame you like for $30 I think it's still a good deal.

I just got my bendable titanium glasses from Zenni Optical and the lens are questionable. I got the 1.61 High Index one and when I look a little left/right, everything looks blurry/bulgy. Can't believe I paid $80 for this purchase.

So just a head up for those looking to buy from Zenni, buyers beware.

COuld be because you're not used to them. It might go away. Mine did with my ones from Hakim. Same problem.

There may be nothing wrong with the Zenni glasses.

Do you have a high prescription (over +or-3-4 diopters?)

I have a high Rx (+6 in my right eye and +4.75 in my left) and I have lots of problems with blurriness and colour problems outside the narrow centre area of many glasses.

This is due to chromatic aberration - its an optical product of the lense - its related to the abbe number of the lense (do a wikipedia search for abbe number for lots of info).

The abbe number is related to the material used for the lenses. I have had lots of problems in the past with so-called 'High Index' lenses. There is a three-way trade off with all lenses - weight vs. thickness vs. abbe.

I've found in many cases - the expensive high index lenses while thinner and lighter are just not something I can wear because of their poor optical properties.

In fact - I bought many high index lenses at different opticians and ended up returning and remaking them.

After 10 years of this nonsense I found a good middle-ground lense called Spectralite from Sola. It has an index between normal and high but has a good high abbe number; so its sort of a trade off. A little thicker than I could buy - but better optics.

I've purchased a couple of pairs from Zenni - and also a couple of pairs from Goggles4u. In all honesty; I'm very impressed with the workmanship and quality of both. The blurry off-centre and distortion I have is no better or worse than the $400 pair of glasses I bought at a name brand optician a couple of years ago.

Anyway - don't know if this helps - just my humble thoughts - but perhaps it's an explanation if indeed you have a high Rx.

How are the frames though? are they actually bendable?

edit: goggles4u seriously needs to get more stock of glasses with sun clip ons

I could use a pair of sunglasses for driving, as transitions don't work with the UV coated windshield.
Does anyone know what tinting percent I should get (my guess is 100%)?
Also, I was wondering what green/blue tint would look like; I'll probally just stick with black.

CR39 Material High Index Lenses or Glass Material High Index Lenses?
I've never had glass lenses but heard that they give you the best vision. I've wondered if you can really tell the difference between weight.

I'd like to be protected from UV rays and have a tint that people can't see my eyes.

CR39 Material High Index Lenses or Glass Material High Index Lenses?
I've never had glass lenses but heard that they give you the best vision. I've wondered if you can really tell the difference between weight.

There's a HUGE difference in weight between glass and plastic, especially when it's all resting on your nose. But in terms of vision, I doubt anyone can tell the difference between glass and plastic (unless goggles4u uses some uber cheap stuff). Almost no one uses glass anymore, because it's heavy and shatters.

Chromatic aberration should not cause spacial distortion. It should only show itself in colour fringes between two colours with high contrast. But you should get used to it after a month or two.

I just had my eyes checked, and my eyes have continued its deterioration. By the way, for one of my eyes, the axis (for astigmatism) flipped from 003 to 180. How was that possible?
