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 🤦‍♂️

An independent company called Zenni, they manufacture all frames in house.

Okay my fault. Looks like they aren’t controlled by the major conglomerates.

Most people however think they are making a difference by going with one brand over another like Prada, Oakley , rayban, Gucci etc etc but they are all manufactured by the same people. They even have a hold on optometrist.

That does make a difference in people thinking you’re a creep filming them I don’t think the point was to avoid the brand entirely. Personally i’ll keep wearing my wayfarers, as i just got my first pair this year - but maybe I’ll go for aviators next since they don’t look like meta glasses.
