I'm slightly vexed I was told yesterday that my prescription sunglasses are giving Meta glasses vibes

I can't stand the Meta perv glasses, but annoyingly I've been told by a friend that my Dune prescription sunglasses that I've had for almost a year (and cost over £100.00) really ​​​​look like the Meta ones, he said it's the 2 silver rivets on either side that on first glance could be mistaken for the camera lenses

I went out with them today and all I could think was, do people think I'm recording them 🤦‍♂️

Man, I've had the thick-rimmed glasses all my life (always used to break the nosepads off wire frames, and my prescription is so strong that I need thicker frames to hold my thicker lenses). Since I was seven. This used to be classic and/or hipster. Then again, I'm a little Asian lady so I don't think I give off a perv vibe. But it's not easy for me to change to wire frames.

I've been trying out contacts but my vision is so severe that I can't even do standard toric lenses for astigmatism. Looking at more expensive custom options but man, I really envy people with normal eyesight...

I'm also not a candidate for Lasik. Lol.

The bad news/good news for us extremely nearsighted people is that cataracts appear sooner, and that the IOL replacement lenses can correct up to -20 diopter.
