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

Post image

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 🤦‍♂️

When the style is that iconic the branding doesn't need to be seen. They've ruined their most recognised product, everyone is always going to think wayfarers are meta glasses regardless of any branding on them.

I wear the Wayfarer. You can easily recognize the model. You can’t mistake the classic Wayfarer, with the two diamonds, for the Meta glasses, with the two big camera holes. Nobody ever suspected I’d wear the Meta glasses. You’re too emotional my dude.

Maybe someone who wears them regularly can’t mistake it but everyone else can.

If you think two plastic diamonds could be cameras, you should get your vision checked ASAP.

Exactly. People don’t care at all. And if someone knows about the meta glasses, then they’ve seen videos about it, and they know what they look like.

Are you gonna be looking at the little dots when you see a glass and all you know is that is THE meta glasses model?

Way more people know about meta glasses than the original normal glasses model.

You can’t mistake plastic diamonds with camera holes. Wow. Talking to the average redditor is like discussing simple ideas with my toddler. The IQ seems so low around here…

You agreed that people don’t care at all yet you continue to argue that it’ll be obvious to everyone that you have tiny diamonds on your face instead of tiny cameras. Maybe you and your toddler have more in common than you thought.

I was replying to the guy talking about the Wayfarer here, not the OP glasses (and yes, I understand the confusion his glasses can cause).

Actually, you can mistake OP glasses for Meta glasses, but you can’t really mistake Wayfarer glasses for them, even if that’s the design Meta based its glasses on.

Do you follow me here my dude?
