I was looking for prescription eyeglasses for Halloween that can also be used for masquerade or other parties.
Something that looks like a Venetian, Hero, or Bandit mask. Or with Rhinestones and bling.
They have to "go all the way" for party purposes. They have to be signaling that they are for party and not for regular time. No way for business uses. Don't care if they are for male, female or unisex, but they have to be large/wide enough for my head. And I have to like them and approve the look with them.
Recently, a few online companies offer really inexpensive eyeglasses, like $119-129/3pairs, or BOGO (buy one get one) deal. Even with photochromic lenses made of MR high index thiourethane resin material, about $40 per eyeglasses.
They are coming from somewhere in China. I don't mind where they are made. These "Made in China" glasses are decent eyeglasses with good prescriptions and newer Mitsui Resin (MR) high index lens material (which is Japanese). I used to buy polycarbonate photochromic lenses, but I am picking MR photochromics now, as photochromic coating on polycarbonate tend to peel off after some time. Manufacturing and shipping take about 2 weeks, which is fine considering traveling time from China to US.
Why not trying something fun for holiday parties?
I used to like inconspicuous rimless or half-rim. Now I like something bolder that add to face, change face, or "mask" face. Let's just blame lingering Halloween spirits.
I am getting the first of a few shipments. I'll test them in upcoming parties.
Also wondering if these eyeglasses companies step up and start making more outrageous costumes/masks with prescription lenses.
