Which glasses/spectacls do you have--which would you recommend I'd buy? I want something that are not too expensive, and ones that look good on the face. Black would be a nice colour, but I'm also open to Red and Golden.[More:]

What are the best brands out there, and what should I be looking out for?

My size is 1.5 in one eye, and .75 in the other. But they've gone up since, so I have to get them checked as well.
Oops, forgot to put that part in the More Inside page.

Thanks Taz, or whoever I have to thank for that input--it wasn't looking nice on the front page to tell you the truth.

Oh, and I tried to post this on MetaTalk but couldn't (the date was already over--my fault) but the cydonian was in town recently (and still is until the night of the eighth) and we were talking about you. Along with nicky of course, and infini, flapjax-at-midnite and ArtW.

Good times were had by all, mainly the two of us, and he was a great guy coming all the way down here.

I have CK frames. I don't think there any "worse" than the full on calvin kleins... but they were about $300 less. I like them.
I have plastic frames. After having my last pair I don't know if I'll ever go back to metal. Plastic is just SO much more comfy. I don't even notice I have them on. No nose pinch at all. No red marks there when i take them off, either.
(plus, since there's no teensy nosepads there's nowhere for the oils from your skin to gather and cause breakouts and so on- way easier to just wipe these down at night and keep them clean. I don't get zits on my nose since switching to plastic frames.)

I'm wearing the cheap black plastic frames I got as a free second pair the last time I bought glasses. I ended up preferring them to the 'designer' metal ones I'd picked out as my first choice.

I have a very small nose so can't wear plastic frames - I need the little nosepads so the specs don't fall off! YMMV.

I've got two pairs of metal frames - one dark green and a kind of flattened hexagon in shape, and one dark red and more like rectangles (both have rounded edges, so not as geometric as the description makes them sound).
