They will not break. kitacek@idkfa.com (kitacek) Asked and Answered Fri, 15 Jul 2011 20:18:15 -0800 http://idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=1102&msg_id=3255 http://www.idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=1102&msg_id=3254 This never happened, as the eye people called back and said my insurance wasn't valid, or something. So... 8 months later. Have an appointment. I need to get over my aversion to phone conversations. kaiden@idkfa.com (kaiden) Asked and Answered Fri, 15 Jul 2011 18:46:40 -0800 http://idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=1102&msg_id=3254 http://www.idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=1102&msg_id=1135 JD has a good suggestion on the polycarb lenses. They're a little more dinero, but I think they're worth it. They're more scratch resistant, and a much sturdier. And night vision would be awesome. kitacek@idkfa.com (kitacek) Asked and Answered Thu, 28 Oct 2010 10:54:54 -0800 http://idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=1102&msg_id=1135 http://www.idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=1102&msg_id=1105 After having my last pair stomped on to the point that we couldn't even find pieces left over at a concert, I personally went with some stouter metal frames. I suppose they approach emo trendy thickness, but I like my shit to be burly and last a couple of years. If that is something that appeals to you as well my frames are oakley's and look fairly unobtrusive and non dousch baggy. I usually get my lenses replaced every two years so I don't really spend a lot on coatings and whatnot, just poly-carb. I doubt you are terribly rough on the equipment though... And I don't know if they have this but some kind of coating that's anti fogging would rule. If so please get it, because it would of course rule, and you would rule. Ahh to be able to walk into a warm room from the cold outside and still be able to see, Just Thing About it MAN!

I've had good luck with Lucky and Guess brand frames, probably because they are full frames (plastic/metal around the whole lens) instead of 1/2 frames (lens on top with just fishing wire underneath). Pearle Vision has a fun feature where you can upload your pic and try different frames on. http://www.pearlevision.com/tryonframes/try-ontool.action J_Maru@idkfa.com (J_Maru) Asked and Answered Sun, 24 Oct 2010 16:02:25 -0800 http://idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=1102&msg_id=1103 http://www.idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=1102&msg_id=1102 I've got an eye appointment on Wednesday. I'm getting my eyes checked because I haven't in a few years, and because I sort of need new glasses. These ones are tired. And battered. And old. And not very stylish. Being that I've had these ones since around the 8th grade, this is a weighty decision, as I might have the next pair for at least as long. Any recommendations? Stuff I should look for? Particular brands, or, brands to avoid? Special finishes? Special features? (night vision, telescoping lenses, etc.) Any input would be appreciated. kaiden@idkfa.com (kaiden) Asked and Answered Sun, 24 Oct 2010 14:19:16 -0800 http://idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=1102&msg_id=1102
