What is my motivation for starting this thread?
I wear prescription eyeglasses daily. Here's a pic of me wearing my current frames:
I have (gas-perm, hard) contact lenses, but they are only for special occasions.
The trend with the top designers in women's eyewear seems to be thick rectangular acetate frames. These are notoriously heavy, then you pop in my thick lenses and it becomes a real issue. I dislike the rectangular shape, but these seem to be everywhere.

Then there's the "too-sophisticated-for-you" look. The male mycologist on this floor wears glasses similar to these:

I have been told by opticians in the recent past that my eyeglass prescription is too high for framless styles. So frames like these are out of the picture, but that doesn't stop my from loving them:

It's difficult finding frames for everyday wear that are feminine by nature. It seems they offer the same old thing but in girly colors and a slightly smaller frame size.
As far as sunglasses go...
Anyone remember these?
hehe. I love Doc Brown.
But seriously, this round-ish style keeps showing up in different colors by different designers:
