an alternate design for glasses
#1
a friend, long ago passed away, had an unusual set of glasses that i now would like to find. his glasses were basically a big strap around his head. the front part had soft frames to hold the lenses at the correct distance from the eyes. the part going around the side and over the eyes was stretchy flexible. in the back they attached to each other with a large area of Velcro. has anyone seen anything like this? my guess is where these would be made would still need to fit lenses into them, but this is not so hard to do these days with the cutting machines and a stock of the various diopter blanks like all those cheap glasses stores have.

regular glasses designs are terrible. they hold on poorly. the temples, the parts on the side that reach the ears. are just not long enough. glasses i have now that were marketed as metal turn out to be plastic made to appear as metal (shiny).
