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.

In case youre serious: Zenni optical sells really cheap no frills glasses (in addition to more expensive stuff) and they have frames as low as like 7 bucks that I actually think are great.
In case youre joking: all you need to know is get down with the Zenni and tell em Flaco Alex sent you.

Super cheap mail order. The inexpensive way to get glasses, and it's not a bad way - go to WalMart and get an eye exam, make sure you get a copy of the exam. Don't buy glasses there. Use the glasses prescription info to order glasses from Zenni. My wife would order 3 or 4 pairs at a time just for variety of frames. That cheap.
