I have bought quite a few pairs from EBD now, but these are hands down my favorite. I found an old picture from when I was a kid and I had tortoise aviators on. I came on the site looking specifically for similar glasses and these are them. I absolutely love the retro look. The glasses are high quality as well and very comfortable. Highly recommend if you're into this style frame! Couldn't be happier with mine.

I was looking for an an acetate aviator style like this, but for a more narrow women's face. I opted for the Effect even though it's considered a large frame, because I preferred that these had no gold flair/metal accents like the other acetate aviator styles on EBD. Turns out, they are perfect! The larger frame means more lens space giving me more real estate for reading strength. I'm not quite at a +1.0, so I opted for the Sight Relax, blue light blocking lens that has slight magnification at the bottom, and it's exactly what I need for mobile devices, computers, and reading.

Lightweight. Retro. Comfy. Cool. Gives you that Steve Urkel/Nite Owl from Watchmen look. Love them! Great company. Looking forward to buying more frames.
