The beveling has to be my favourite step, it just gives that little extra special detail to the lenses (and therefore the frames) because you just don’t see it very often

Oh Robert you're killing me. Loving the shape of the lens in orange. I wonder if rimless glasses would suit me, since it is generally agreed that I do not look good without glasses (and therefore, I assume that perhaps the contrast of the frames play at least some part in this). We'll speak more to that point further down the line over e-mail, but I thought I'd ask here so you have the opportunity to share some insight on this to your viewers.

@@thespectaclefactory Hello! I see that you're considering rimless glasses, which can be a great choice due to their lightweight and subtle appearance. However, you've mentioned that they may be less durable compared to other styles. If I invest on SL lenses, would it be more secure to avoid rimless frames? Regarding the frames, I understand that you believe some ICB (ic! berlin) models are better than most PD (Porsche Design) and vice versa. It would be helpful to have a consultation with you to provide more specific advice on these styles. In the meantime, could you let me know which of the following frames are rimless and what your priorities are in terms of comfort, durability, and style? - ic! berlin WOLFENER 002 Black (Schwarz) - ic! berlin MITTE 002 Black (Schwarz) - CO Optical CO1 1151 S22 matt black (Schwarz) - Porsche Design P 8362 A black (Schwarz) Also, congratulations on being involved in the launch of SL!

Hi Robert. Could prescription lenses be made with Zeiss treatments that eventually look just like sunglasses? I mean, when exposed to the sun will they be without residual green/blue reflection on their surface, just plain black (but also with AR, UV and Blue Light protection)? When clear, they can be reflective, no problem, but not when exposed to sunlight. Does Gradient, Tint Gray 12% or 25% + PhotoFusion X Extra Gray and possibly which DuraVision (Platinum or Sun) work in order not to reflect the eyes on the back surface of the lenses? I have something with green residue on the back + Siver Mirror front, but when are exposed to light, în the top/side light the eyes are mirrored plus a lot of reflections and streaks of light... which is very annoying unfortunately. Can be made of Crown Glass or Plastic CR-39? Thanks in advance for your help, keep it up. With all my respect for your work, Luss.

The silver mirror is likely causing internal reflections. DuraVision Sun is probably your best bet, but with any anti-reflective treatment there will be a slight reflex colour

Probably worth specifying if that's gold the material or gold the colour. If it's for religious reasons then might be worth considering the reason behind such a rule, maybe it's considered not good to wear precious metals for instance, in which case gold and platinum are the same in such a context. Wood or horn would then be better choices, which is ironic because those are more expensive

Probably best not to get too carried away when having your glasses customized, especially if it's your primary (or only) pair. While it is nice to have a pair with an outlandish tint, shape or loads of fancy detailing, you will need your primary or only glasses to be relatively conservative so you can wear them in an office and similar environments where the outlandish glasses would be out of place and unprofessional. What is a conservative pair of glasses? It's one where the frames are conventional in shape, style and colour, with clear lenses (particularly inside, though if the tint is a light gray, brown or yellow tint and you have a light sensitivity condition, that's an exception to the clear lens requirement indoors), or grey or brown in the case of sunglasses. Most of the glasses in this video do not meet the conservative ''office'' standard, they are more for parties or vacationing.
