Thanks, 4fit and CaveDweller.
Cave, that beard growth seems to have taken off overnight!

My new computer bifocals in the clunky 50's style frame my father wore for most of my childhood.
Egad. Wearing them makes me look like a bearded version of him.

Actually, I find that those frames fit the best with your modern day beard....They seem to blend in well. I'm not too familiar with what your dad looked like, but that look suits you well.

My greatest fears as a teen were to go bald and to have to wear glasses (well, I had to, but just refused to). Now I am comfortable with both. Not an aesthetic superlative, but I survive mirrors and photos.
I wear contacts, too, but mostly specs these days. I own more than two pairs, which is exceptional for a guy. The frames on the left are probably my most courageous ones, the kind that makes me scratch my head on some days (the bad-hair-days) and say to myself "Are you serious?" But not so on other days.

Welcome to the board, Glottonym!
I understand completely the allure of that style of aviator frame. I really miss the peripheral vision it provides.
I also own but rarely wear my contacts. My only excuse is pure laziness in the morning.
Glad you joined us. Please post something in Introductions.

Sorry. Your introductory thread predates my membership by almost four months.
Glad you returned, sir.

Fine array of good looking specs out there. I'm going to have to go shopping.

I'm due for an eye exam soon and thinking that it's probably time that I updated my frames. I've been trying to wait out the current fashion of big chunky frames that look like what I had to wear in the 70s. It wasn't fun the first time around and I've had no desire to relive the experience.
I look better in round or oval frames, which have been out of style for a while now.
I'm also trying to decide if I want to continue wearing contacts. I can see better with my glasses and my eyes feel better whenever I take a break from contacts but glasses have their own sets of disadvantages. Decisions, decisions ...

I hear ya! When I got my current glasses a few months ago the optician tried like Dickens to get me to adopt plastic frames. And I tried some on and gave them a fair chance -- but they just weren't me. So I ended up with another pair of retro oval glasses like in my picture.

At this point I haven't ruled out plastic frames altogether, if I can find some that aren't too big and overwhelming. Will depend on what they look like on. I'll probably end up with something that is past its stylistic peak and on its way to being out of fashion.

The ones I tried on were clear plastic, which I liked a lot more than the black, but still had that retro-retro shape that you and I remember from 3rd grade:
They just didn't do it for me.
Perhaps if I'd had a choice of something a little rounder, like the following, I might have gone for it.
