The Aardvark Speaks: Change of outlook

Change of outlook

Urgh. Need to go and buy new glasses today. 2 pairs, actually. Still undecided whether I should support some small unknown local optician or a huge well-known German corporate optician. The decision would be much easier if the small unknown local opticians would match the price levels of the huge well-known German one.

I guess I'll just see which of them has anything I like. Somehow this kind of shopping seriously increases my stress levels (well, shopping for shoes is worse). Does anybody happen to know what kind of frames are in fashion this year?

As a compromise, you could support an Austrian corporate optician :-) I'm quite happy with my Hartlauer glasses, which are surprisingly robust despite being "frameless".

Speaking only for myself, I like my Zeiss glasses and wear the same shape, different colors since more than 10 years.

And don't forget: real glass is better (usually thinner and lighter).

I believe the Austin Powers style is still fashionable.
