I’m not sure why they didn’t include a photo of someone actually wearing them, so here’s one for you: https://www.engadget.com/vixion01-glasses-reduce-eyestrain-b...
Edit: "My eyesight was sharper than usual for both far and close distances (down to two inches)" blimey! I might be sold. I need read glasses for soldering and close work like that and it's a bit of a pain.
Come on, yeah they do. You don't have a car-style cellular antenna sticking up any more, the way you would in the 90s. But that, and incremental refinement in materials and profile, is really all the aesthetic difference from what you'd see back then. It doesn't do enough to help.
Granted, you're not wrong about the potential benefits, although I think I'd need a lot of convincing that it's enough of a qualitative improvement to be worth the cost and complexity over fixed magnifiers. But I'd never consider these at all if you could see my electronics bench from the street.
Not at all. I actually think they look kind of cool. I still would prefer very understated glasses, but these are way better than a lot of the awful frames you see people wearing sometimes.
Not that I'm judging; I'd hardly be one to, certainly not these days when the most elaborate style I bother going for is "artsy graying homosexual" and even that not with any real commitment, aside from the graying part, which isn't up to me. But I was a classic when I was young, and while no one ever particularly mentioned my glasses adding to my looks that I recall, I believe I now know a way I could've had people mentioning they took a lot away from them. Make of it what you find it to be worth.
There's no accounting for taste, but no. No no no. This is Halloween costume bad. Just came from ComicCon bad. Google glass bad. And people are going to assume they are being recorded.
* Geordi's visor
* A nose clip for swimming
* Stick-on googly eyes
The last design choice seems particularly bold. I guess they're less threatening that way? Or it just kind of happened for technical reasons.
This is the closest I could find in search without trying too hard.
But yeah, why can't these companies just design regular old glasses styles so people don't feel like a dolt and maybe would want to buy them. Instead everyone has to be made to look like a glasshole and all the entitlement that connotes in the mass mind.

Battery life could be worked around if they're really that much of an improvement in day to day use. Even buying two or three pairs to go through a full day could be a worthy tradeoff if they don't need to pair to anything. Cost could be an issue, but 2 or 3 of them would still be cheaper that many hearing aids for instance.
