He had elves from Middle Earth craft the lens out of mythical glass found in the rocks of the giant eagles nest in the great forest.

The frames was designed by Ive and pounded from the hammer, Mjonir (the King of the norse gods)

Here is a guy with cool-looking glasses and attitude to spare.

One should never stop striving for clarity of thought and precision of expression.
I would prefer my humanity sullied with the tarnish of science rather than the gloss of religion.

Bill Gates may be filthy rich, and I wish I had 1% of his fortune, but do you really want the same glasses as him ?

He could star in the new Revenge of the Nerds movie. The dude is a geek.

If you wanna be cutting edge, get laser surgery.

I only have a limited number of frames from which I can choose due to my large prescription. It appears that none of the above would be suitable.

talking to a optometrist who had corrective eye surgery said it wasn't wort it. He said it is not uncommon to lose contrast especially during dawn and dusk (magic hour like reign of fire). He also wore glasses, as the correction did not stay corrected.

I'm sort of on the "until there is a really good solution, I'm going to stick it out" philosophy with glasses, as well as baldness (which isn't really a big deal for me, but if there were really a good solution, I would probably consider it)

I'm always on the hunt for good glasses. my current pair are lame, but I haven't found any I really like since a dog chewed up the last pair I had that i really liked.
