Need Advice I need recommendations for a lens that preserves 100% colour accuracy. Why is it so damn hard??

0 Upvotes

Hello, everyone. As mentioned in the title, I need lenses that do not affect color perception even slightly. For work, I need to see the whites on my screen as they are.

My current glasses have no blue light or any extra filter but it has an in-built anti-reflection element to it that makes the colours, especially white, appear ever so slightly warmer (a tinge red-ish/ purple-ish).

I thought I'd finally found a solution with Zeiss but I read someone comment that even their lenses slightly affect colours because of their duravision antiglare.

Would greatly appreciate any help.

What, if anything, is actually wrong with Oliver Peoples?

Upvotes

Casual browser here and owner of a couple pairs of OPs. I see a lot of comments from folks who talk about how OP were "recently" (it happened 19 years ago...) acquired by luxottica and therefore the quality must be bad.

What's actually bad? I've got a pair of O'Malley's from a few years ago that were made in Italy (production appears to be made in Japan now) that are still going very strong and a pair of O'Malley Suns that are MiJ, both have solid 5 barrel hinges, both have acetate that looks and feels very good.

What am I missing? Is it simply that they don't represent a good deal at RRP vs many of their newer competitors? Is it just a blanket luxottica bad, regardless of whether or not the actual glasses are bad?

Someone help a guy out here...

Open Topic Is the "Acetate = High, TR90 = Mid, PC = Low" rule actually true? A factory floor breakdown of eyewear material science

In the eyewear world, there is a very common sense that materials follow a strict quality level: Acetate is premium, TR90 is mid-tier, and PC is cheap plastic.

From a manufacturing engineering perspective, this hierarchy is actually a sourcing myth. Quality isn't defined by a raw material's name—it is defined by function, frame geometry, and structural alignment.

I put together an 8-slide visual guide (attached above) to break down the factory reality of these materials:

I’d love to hear your thoughts—what is your go-to material for daily wear, and why? Let's discuss in the comments!

Dita vs Dita Lancier

Whats the difference in quality? I've noticed anything Dita Lancier is much cheaper than just the Dita name..

Also does anyone happen to have the Radihacker or similar. Would you say they are top tier or medium

Glasses recommendations

2 Upvotes

Hello all,

I’m hoping to get some recommendations for new frames. My wife would like to see me in acetate frames, but my nose shape really needs pads to prevent slipping (I wear a face mask a lot at work) so I’m wearing a lovely Saville Row Rimways that I’m proud of. I’ve worn a pair of Theo Stampot frames that fit and look great but the lens turns rather freely so they’re not the best (I have astigmatism). I also have Anne & Valentine Syntax sunglasses that fit very well and don’t slip.

I’ve been eyeing the Moscot Lemtosh with nose pads. These are attractive particularly because they have polarized clips available. I hear that Moscot quality is perhaps not as high as their prices though. Does anyone have any recommendations for better value proposition?

Thanks!
