Probably one of Ray-Ban’s more elegant styles, the RX5228 is a rectangular frame with trendy, minimalist design. It showcases a contemporary look with a twinge of retro, pulling off the stylish-sophisticated balance perfectly. If you’re looking for a smart yet fashionable look with a pinch of designer flair, this is the one.

Customer product review: “Very impressed with the quality of product and most of all the prescription for near and far sighted is perfect. Price was amazing.” Nancy
The epitome of a modern square frame, showcasing soft rounded edges and a snazzy translucent hue. Like with the Ray-Ban before, there’s a nice play of modern and retro (keyhole bridge) going on here. The subtle metallic detailing and the transparent color options make it a home run pick, one that you can wear with a wide range of outfits and clothes.

Customer product review: “I am blown away!! The quality and the accuracy of the lenses are better than I ever thought possible without a trip to the doctor!!” Davida
There’s a certain something about the Weston frame which is almost impossible to describe in one, clear definition. It stands out immediately, somehow combining everything for everyone all at once yet remains very distinctive in its look. It’s somewhere between square and round, beautifully refined with subtle metal details on it. Serious but fun, playful but down-to-business as well, it’s the all-around quality of it that actually makes it quite unique.

Customer product review: “I got these in the mail yesterday. I NEVER can find glades to fit my super narrow face frame, but these look pretty cute. I’ve had multiple compliments already. I want to purchase a second pair in a different color, as well. They are very lightweight, which is perfect.” Lizzy

For those who love an extra bit of vintage to their look, the Elliot delivers a modern take on the iconic ‘50s & ‘60s browline style. There are quite a few of these going around, but the Elliot pulls off that sleek metal rims meets chunky acetate browline look absolutely perfectly. The fact that you can get this frame with more than just black or tortoise browlines makes it even better, giving you the option to go a bit more high-brow with your look, or something more casual.

Customer product review: “I bought these frames about three years ago… they are still intact and are perfectly fine which proves my point on amazing quality. I just rebought them and as they were the first time I ever bought them, they are just as good and great quality and fit!!” Gianna

The Waterloo by Ottoto is a refined round frame, flaunting a fine-wire flair with a touch of oversized. There’s a lot to be said about the Waterloo meshing refined with oversized (without overdoing it) in one frame and pulling it off. Most of the frames we’ve recommended so far are on the more angular side – this frame is excellent for people with more square or angular faces, needing that curve to complement their features.

Customer product review: “These are now my favorite glasses I own! I think I look quite nice in them if I do say so myself. And on top of that they were WAY cheaper than all the other glasses I got from my doctor so overall I was very satisfied with this purchase.” David

Remember the Elliot from before? So the AX1015 by Armani Exchange is like its younger, slightly cooler sibling, with a modern semi-rimless rectangular design and subtle brand detailing on the temples. Combining past and present in a frame and doing it well is always something we like to commend, and this Armani Exchange (which always offers amazing value for a designer pair) frame does it on all fronts: A sleek, contemporary look with a touch of old-school sophistication. Can’t get better than this.

Customer product review: “The Armani Exchange frames are super classy and my new Transitions Extra lenses are what I have been looking for to enable me not to have to switch glasses. The Transition Extra lenses solve that problem and do a good job of dealing with the sun, shade, indoors, etc. Combine these lenses with the Armani frames that look great, I’m very happy with the pricing and quick turnaround.” Pablo

A stylish full-rim rectangular frame with subtle brand metal detailing on the temples and tips, available in black, tortoise and slightly translucent green – Like the Waterloo but showcasing a more contemporary design. The Jojo pulls off the oversized thing without being too big, delivering a now look for all ages, a quality acetate construct, and a nice touch of sleek metal accents, giving an everyday-but-different kind of vibe.
