For people who really want to spend bottom dollar on their frames and who need cheap single vision lenses, these Drum frames can be acceptable. Also will be ideal to have exactly even ears and never need to adjust your ear stems on your new glasses, because this memory plastic is not adjustable, even a little bit. The hinges are plastic and probably cheezey. Not sure how they would hold up over time.
I was new to ordering glasses online and I ordered these frames with expensive, Progressive and Transitions lenses. The lenses were perfect. I learned that I will never again order expensive lenses with cheap frames. Also, when I bought these, I didn't realize that there is a size Extra Small, which would have fit my narrow face much better. So the Small size is a little bit too big for my preference. In order to make the frames fit level on my ears and face I got some silicone glasses adjusters in a kit. Photo shows that I had to be creative to make these frames fit level.
Ultimately, EBD took excellent care of me and let me replace them. So, lessons learned, unless you have perfectly level ears, only buy frames with a metal core embedded in acetate, (you will learn to look for it,) or buy metal frames, for adjustability. Also, don't invest in higher price lenses just to put them in the lowest price frames. Spring for better frames. I Love EBD! It takes a couple of shots at ordering glasses online, to become clear on what will work for you.
