10/6/20: I took a recent (virtual) wander around the V&A Museum (thanks to Hal), and I came upon their eye glasses exhibit. I thoroughly enjoyed the collection, and it made me realize I’d never done a post about eyeglasses. They may seem too humdrum to be exciting, but though ubiquitous, in the hands of talented designers, eye glasses can be art. Some people are even known for their eye wear, like John Lennon’s iconic round glasses, Prue Leith (Great British Baking Show) and her signature primary-colored frames, and Elton John with his outrageous eye wear.
So here, without further blather, are some of the more eye-conic, eye-ronic, or just eye-popping eye wear designs I found (with a few tragedies thrown in for fun).

Extra large glasses seem to be in style around here. I do need new ones but not showoff ones.

I buy cute sunglasses sometimes (usually on vacation), but I really only wear my good ones. Beloved got them for me from Tiffany’s for our anniversary years ago. Love them (and her) still!

They make yellow glasses to wear night to help with the extra bright lites. I got a pair in the car Hal

Driving on the highway in the dark this week has shown us that we could use something like that, too. So hard to see!

Glasses clearly express the personality of the person wearing them
