Agstum Retro Round Optical Rare Wire Rim Eyeglass Frame (Without Nose Pads)

3rd set arrived. Have my prescription lenses installed. Shipping better but tracking frustrating. These light weight, period correct and durable. The cables will fatigue at the temple arm junction but I’m hard on glasses, so no fault of manufacturer. Good on range and outdoors. Updated to 5 stars.Previous review: Finally arrived. Shipping from China is slow. A plastic case that’s functional. Very light weight but nice metal color. Temples are short. Adjusting cables out will work but measure yourself closely and figure it’ll be smaller when arrives. Good size to optics and I’ll have script lenses added. I’m using for TR impression and they’ll work. Enough field of vision to shoot but bifocals will be evaluated later. At a third of the price for heavier retro frames they’re...ok. Glad nose pieces are not part of the frame. The bridge is comfortable. To be seen how they hold up on the range and with sweating.Update: these have held up better than expected. Great on the range. TR impression correct. Cables adjusted okay. Would give 5 stars if a bit longer and shipping faster. No corrosion evident even wearing daily and with copious perspiration. Cables have stayed sturdy.

These are NOT Agstum glasses! There is no other Hallmark other than 18k and that’s on the inside bridge of the glasses; however, I do like the way they fit, very inexpensive and good for my comfort (they’re lightweight).All of that being said, they should be stamped with Agstum and should NOT be stamped 18k, as I’m sure these are not 18k gold.———————————————————————I want to update: Sept 3, 2024I’ve had these with my own prescription in them for a month now and I do have to say that I am very impressed. I wear a thick lens, and the size 47mm accommodates them quite well. The arms are durable, because I’m constantly readjusting (I have uneven ears haha) and they’ve held up. I would honestly prefer the curve on the arm solid as opposed to the cut ins (I guess the cut ins are used for more flexibility; they will kink and lose the smooth curve if manipulated too much.)The lenses I wear are tinted (if that makes a difference in any way, I’m not sure, but so far so good.) They are not sunglasses, a preference in color and they do help cut down on some glare.Honestly, I have to say that overall, I am very pleased with the purchase (even though the nose stamp is suspect).I’m sure that arms could be easily replaced if they were to break, but would be well worth it just to purchase another pair…. The price point is excellent, and you could either replace your own frames into them or use them for parts for your other pair.I haven’t even run into a problem with cleaning them… if they bend a little, they are very easily reformed (just be a little careful, because they are somewhat fragile… but, at the same time, also amazingly tolerant to manipulation).The next time I get new glasses, I will be buying another pair of these, but perhaps in a smaller size the next time. I love the 47 mm’s that I currently have, but do like variety between small and large fittings.All in all I would highly recommend these frames.A word of advice first…. Before you purchase, go to a store and try on something similar in the size you think you may want. I usually like very small lenses, but if you don’t measure, you may not be happy with the fit. The ones I’m wearing in the picture are 47 mm. They look very large when not on, but honestly as large as they look on their own, you will more than likely like the fit a tad more than you would’ve thought.Another thing I will mention that’s not common factor with most glasses is the nose piece on these. It sets directly across the bridge, but will lean awkwardly (my opinion) if you wear a very thick prescription like I do. I simply remedied it with a custom cut pad from a makeup sponge (added a tad of my facial tanner to the makeup sponge, which blends it flawlessly.) The glasses are very lightweight to begin with and it’s so nice not having those pinched looking marks on my nose from standard eyeglass nosepieces.Anyway, hope this review helped (along with the pictures). Sometimes (as funny as it may seem), purchasing eyeglass frames can be very stressful.Good luck to everyone that decides to purchase, I’m sure you’ll love them.Cheers!

I now own two pair of the fabulous frames. I bought a silver pair this summer, and installed prescription transition lenses. I receive lots of compliments for the retro Lennon look, especially when the lenses are dark. The flexible hooks that loop over the ears keep the frames perfectly in place. For years I’ve have plastic frames droop over my ears and down my nose, requiring constant adjustments. I recently bought the gun metal frames when my prescription changed. I honestly do not see myself ever purchasing another pair of frames. The craftsmanship is suberb, and the perfectly round lenses certainly remain a timeless style.

I'm very happy with the fit, the weight, and color of these. Even though I have a very strong prescription in one of my eyes (and the lens is thicker), my lenses fit perfectly. And the cable earpieces make for a good snug fit. If you haven't used cable earpieces before, it will take a little getting used to, and you may experience a little irritation behind your ears until you adjust to them. Overall, great glasses. I'm considering buying another set of the frames for prescription sunglasses.

I liked the style. It is like retro Windsor with titanium. The frame is too small perhaps for a 10 year old boy.

I bought these to fit prescription lenses to and I think they'll be ideal. They're surprisingly solid metal frames for the money and I love the flexible temples.

They're great but a but turned out to be smaller than I thought, I even made lengths comparisons with the ones I have.

I have been a fan of circular frames for quite some time. Part retro, I suspect, but there is a simplicity I prefer about the circle enclosing the eye. Too may eyeframes state they are "circular" but are not a true circle. This one is. The quality of the frame has, so far, been up to par with much more expensive frames.
