Neither of the people in those photos need glasses. Or, those glasses have plano lenses; there’s no distortion at the edges.
Large frames like those require very hiugh index lenses, because otherwise your lenses get really thick at the edges. My prescription is fairly bad, and I need 1.67 index to avoid stupidly heavy lenses.
Also, frames without nose pads don’t usually stay put on your face. I find them very uncomfortable, esp. since I have to wear glasses for everything.
The extra-shitty part is that the lens in your eye gets less elastic as you age. I’m myopic; if I had gotten LASIK years ago, I would now be hyperopia, and would need glasses to read anything.
I would 100% replace my eyes with cybernetic ones if it was possible.
I’m talking about the frames, no need to try to be offended on someone else’s behalf, I wasn’t talking about the lenses.
Gigantic and gaudy specs are a thing, sorry you hadn’t noticed
Edit - I’m talking about this phenomenon, seems to be a thing in western Europe at the mo, in affluent circles -
Oh we did that a decade ago with buddy Holly glasses
At least those are big, the ones that woman is wearing have both a thick and small frame which makes a truly horrible effect.

Off-topic. I’m wearing without nose pads now, because they also didn’t stay put for me, and caused headaches.
As life long user I can only say glasses suck.
Damn straight they do.
