Frame: Pewter
Lens: Zeiss A/R Clear (non-oakley)

I've worn these for about 2 years now as my glasses when I don't have my contacts in. 2 years later, these are still probably my favorite of all the RX glasses they have available, even the new styles. I will say that I have tried wearing these for a week straight, and there is so much pressure above my ears that it some times causes irritation. Actually, thats saying a lot, these glasses have maintained their shape and have not become 'bent out of shape'. The o-metal is pretty durable, but I'd still feel better if these had spring hinges. The fishing line to hold the bottom of the lens in never broke, so no problems there. Still a very classy style that isn't too loud like some of the other Oakley prescription frames. Came with a torpedo case too.

The Zeiss lens is good, but there is a touch of distortion when looking out the corner of the lenses (I also have an astigmatism, so it may be unavoidable). One long term thing I didn't like is that the Zeiss lens is very susceptable to micro pitting. You can't see it while your wearing them, but when you hold them to a light source, you can see pits everywhere. No scratches, but pitting everywhere.

To have Oakley lenses, the frame must be sent to oakley, and the lenses are cut off premises obviously by Oakley, which means your insurance probably won't cover the lenses. A new option has opened up for me and I can now get the Oakley A/R lenses at a reasonable price, so I may go for it with my next pair. Just need to decide whether it'll be worth updating the prescription in this pair.

This is a 5 star frame, but gets 4 stars due to comfort issues.

Lens: Clear (prescription)

Lightweight half (upper) frame lenses with the squared off edges makes this pair a perfect understated and stylish set of frames.

I have terrible eyesight and need very thick lenses, and I was surprised both that they could fit such fat lenses on the thin frame and that they still looked brilliant. The temple O icon's are accented in a lighter metallic shade against the pewter making them stand out and is a great detailed touch!

The back of the ear stems were a little tight but some simple minor bending out of the arms made them perfectly comfy for me to wear at home when I'm not out with my contacts.

These are great! I just replaced an 10 year old pair of Giorgio Armani's and I have to say, these are quite lighter! The style is a great fit for my bone structure (that's important!). However, I've been wearing them as my primary glasses (I have no alternatives/contacts) and they are putting a great deal of pressure on the side of my head. So much so that the flesh feels tender and sensitive to touch. I don't know if this will work itself out, but I'll give it another few days before I bend the frames out a smige.

Lens: Oakley A/R

I just got these babies yesterday, and I love them. I do get a bit of barrel distortion even with the Oakley A/R lenses, but this will likely be much less of a distraction as I get used to wearing glasses in general (these are my first Rx ever).

I think these glasses are very stylish (my wife who works in the fashion industry approves!) I have a smaller head, so a heavy frame wasn't really an option, and these frames are truly minimalistic, but still stylish. To me they are minimalistic (which I love), extremely functional (they're Rx glasses, duh!) and exceedingly comfortable (I think comfort is subjective, and will depend on your face/head shape & characteristics)

In all, I am very pleased -they were my favorite frames at the store, and wife's second favorite (so that's saying a lot!)

Awesome.
