But, ideally, less expensive and carried by a place where my insurance will cover a portion.

Horrible stuff. But maybe just because I am not yet used to it. I am sometimes surprised when I see how my taste regarding glasses has changed over the years. I think glasses is where I most notice how I am influenced by fashion trends.

Really? I think they are really cool.

And not by association, but by design. It's a god damned circle meant for enhancing the operational aspects of what are, more or less, spheres. Pretty damn apt, IMHO. I think they are also iconoclastic. As far as I know, they've never been a major trend and seem to be pretty timeless.

IMHO, of course.

Fine glasses, but it's hard to judge whether they'll work on you or anyone else without having an idea of what you look like.

I've actually tried on some round glasses and I can pull it off, however, the frames that I used as reference had too much detailing so I didn't pick them up. I'm looking for something like the one's posted in the picture, but hopefully less expensive. I may have posted a bit prematurely. Isn't there a "ask me about eyewear" thread somewhere?

RLPL has that style, more or less. Some guy on eBay has them for <$100, legit.

Take a look at Anglo-American. I'm considering a similar pair myself.

AlanC, how often do people tell you you're the beezy? Cause you're the beezy.

I like those, have tried some on, and can pull them off. However, I prefer the austerity and eccentricity of rounder designs. Cool suggestion though. Oh, and I have to go now. I need to return some videos.

These choices may not help the OP viz. price/insurance, but others may benefit.

Last month, I finally bought a couple of new pairs at Retrospecs in St Albans, UK. Not the cheapest, but great service and he knew what fitted and worked instantly.

For round frames, the vintage styles had the best ranges:
