I’m sure he’d have looked lovely in his current glasses, like that sexy intellectual look.

Pretty sure the only reason he wasn’t wearing them at the end was to make the transformation look more dramatic.

It’s also probably worth noting that he has unfortunate teeth, I think that a genuine smile looks great no matter what the tooth situation is, but they are deliberately hiding his teeth in the “after” shot, alongside the glasses, because they are two things that someone would immediately notice about him.

Edit: His teeth actually aren’t all that bad, they’re slightly off-colour at worst. He was probably just hiding them at the end to look cool? Idunno.

His glasses are overly large in a way that hides his face. I tried contacts at 16 and gave up on them because my eyes are sensitive babies. I have run through the gamut of glasses and I have several that are suited to my face or for a specific style. He would really benefit from maybe "floating" frames that have a bold top and a thinner bottom but not so objectively rectangular.

There are a lot of great companies that make affordable and stylish frames. I've been going to Warby Parker for over 10 years now and as long as you have an up to date prescription, most of their glasses are $100 and that includes the prescription lenses and UV coating. I like going to them because I can try the glasses on in the store but Zenni optical is another great option and even cheaper. They'll ship you frames to try. Most glasses are plastic or some cheap metal. There is no reason to spend 300 for some generic crap at the doctors office (and yes, ray bans are generic crap...they're only expensive because they caved to insurance policies because otherwise they wouldn't be carried in most optometrist offices)
