      I’m European and have never seen that, got any examples? And I’m wondering if you’re talking about only the frames or the lenses too? If you’ve got really bad vision you have no choice, and the thicker the lenses the fewer kinds of frames are available. Contact lenses don’t work well for many and there are several reasons why surgery might not be a choice.

        I’m talking about the frames, no need to try to be offended on someone else’s behalf, I wasn’t talking about the lenses.

        Gigantic and gaudy specs are a thing, sorry you hadn’t noticed

        Edit - I’m talking about this phenomenon, seems to be a thing in western Europe at the mo, in affluent circles -

          At least those are big, the ones that woman is wearing have both a thick and small frame which makes a truly horrible effect.

          Typical American macaque throwing shit and not providing any sources. When questioned you guys always answer with “I’m sorry you just didn’t notice, love” like that proves anything to begin with lmao.

          I feel sad for you.

      We seem to have some sort of natural immunity to that. Whether for good or ill, only time will tell.
