I don't like dem changes, it makes me go crazy for some years.

I researched shelf life of the plastic used and I already know the rate which my eye glasses break. So I will be rocking these for the next decade or more.

That's it dear dull men.

This is a great idea. One thing I dislike about new frames lately is the use of silicone parts. Those dissolve in sweat. Otherwise I'd love to buy me 8 pairs.... But 47??? I don't even plan to be alive that long. It be cool if I was though. So maybe I should order 47 pairs.

    That's the thing, I buy half frame where the nose pad is part of the frame body.

    I like those because it doesn't leave an itchy red mark on my very sexy gorgeous boogery nose

    And it last long.

    That type of frame has a weak point the nylon string push on the two sides and eventually those corners break.

    Usually takes a year, 2 years, 6 months etc.

    But each frame is about USD 1.63 so who cares.

    Silicone does not dissolve in sweat. Salt water fish tanks are held together with silicone.

    Exactly my thinking when I purchased my first plastic frames with silicone nose pads and grippy silicone coated/overlayed arms. Within a couple of months those frames were a total piece of junk. I don't know what degrades the silicon. I don't use any chemical products on my hair. So it's just water, bodily oils, and sweat. Maybe the oils?
