Hey Lemmies, I want to buy a new pair of sunglasses without contributing to Luxotica dominance. I’ve had Shady rays, but I am looking for a non-american brand.
Look forward to hear your recommendations.

I like to tell every eyeglass wearer I meet about Zenni. Your insurance may or may not cover it, but you probably won’t care because they only charge about $20 per pair of glasses unless you need bonkers lenses.
If you have a reasonably strong prescription, you might need to use the more expensive, more dense lense material. You probably don’t care about that for certain styles of glasses, but it still defaults to the expensive option. You have to make sure to deselect that and go back to the cheaper material.
No reason you need nice, thin lenses on safety glasses that you only wear a few hours per month.
Great addition, thanks. There are similar online prescription glass webshops in Europe as well. They just need your eye exam results, some basic measurements of your head and they can cheaply make great glasses/sunglasses.
Zenni works the same, and they ship to the EU it’s just a bit more expensive. Most of the time still worth paying the reduced price for the frames, not to mention (I haven’t done extensive research on this so I could be wrong, but from cursory glance) they seem to have a more ethical workflow
