How often do you change your glasses? What brand do you get for the frame and lens?

hmm my oldest pair of specs is like maybe 6-7 yrs or longer. braun buffel but is like dying

i change nearly every yr or 2. but regret spending so much. for me more of how it looks, whether it suits. my current most worn pair is maybe about 1 yr?

nxt time i must see properly before buying. damn regret many purchases

True but I can only buy the best that I can afford

I'm loyal to Oakley titanium frame
For lens, Used crizal, AO and various brands. No preference
Then get those cheapo lens for my spare pair of glasses

Yes, technically lens more impt but they are ridiculously expensive esp the branded ones, double of lesser brands

Thankfully, nowadays the quality of frames and lens are so much better. I go for mid tier stuff
