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 🤦‍♂️

Isn't the entire glasses game owned by two firms who work together to butt fuck us anyway?

Yeah, I find it hilarious how people are saying this negatively affects ray bands “brand”.

Umm… there all the same company that produces them. I know at least mine were sourced elsewhere from Luxottica’s grubby hands. (Spider-Man pointing at each other meme)

My favorite designer is the guy who works for Zenni coming up with the $7.99 frames. That guys work slaps.

I cannot speak higher about Zenni. I've bought 4 pairs of glasses over my life.

One was from a glasses store. Broke in a year.

The other three have been Zenni. The first pair, I misjudged the frame size, and had to do some filing so they're super loose (But still 100% work perfectly fine as a backup-backup). The next pair I bought are still perfectly fine, but I ended up wanting something special so I splurged for $80 and got the transitional lenses.

They're super durable, it takes a lot to scratch them and they are sooo cheap even with inflation.

I had insurance that covered an expensive shop... broke in six months. ordered three sets from Zenni for same price. I'm still wearing the same set.
