Suggestions for eyeglass frames

I'm buying new glasses.

May I have your suggestions about frames. Silly and serious would be highly appreciated.

Included in my all time favorites are some wild frames worn by Elton John. And there were the oversized ones that De Niro wore to the desert in Casino when Joe Pesci cursed him out.

My suggestion is "not silly."

Simple, in all things except minds, is best, I believe.

It is helpful in life to be taken seriously.

There's always tthe classic tortise shell ;).
Progressive bifocald are good if you need them.
I might steer clear of the autodarkening,had them once and the coating crazed ( tt could just be the Arizona sun)
Over at the eye clinic myself right now.
Probably have a detaching retina.

Detaching retina? Oh, THAT'S fun, no doubt.

Best of luck, @Dukedog. Aging is a bee-yatch,

May they put you right in short order. Chess players deserve good retinas.

I would have given your last post an emoji -- but none of them seemed appropriate, somehow. I'd never give a "thumbs up" or "heart" to an ailment or "laugh" at it. And of course I wouldn't "downvote" you, ever. Even the horsey doesn't seem to fit.

There should be an "oh, crap!" emoji!

I wonder if this has anything to do with your tendency to jump out of perfectly good airplanes or helos -- at least I seem to recall that that's been one of your practices in the past. Forgive me if my memory is incorrect.

these are mine :)
I don't really have suggestions, but frames with more than one color, like one for the legs one for the front part, look hideous at times so like it would be better if you get something monochrome I guess

Dolce Gabana frames, preferably the models with large frames. These are my favorite.

Why frames? Just get a monocle pendant. A lens on a copper frame and chain. Classic.

I guess you could try creating your very own unique frames from an old brass bolt you've got laying around somewhere, and obviously you have all the specialized equipment such as in the video below. :D
