Shuron Glasses

[mister7]

Good eyeglasses ARE astronomically expensive! I think you will just have to adjust your perspective as there are no cheap glasses that are worth wearing. You only get one pair of eyes, and they are priceless. That is my perspective as a life-long eyeglass wearer.

I just bought my Revelation frames from Shuron directly, saving about $50.00

Just email them and ask for Tony. He'll send you about 3 frames of different sizes to choose from when he gets a deposit. Just pick the one you want and send the rest back.

I love my Ronsir Revelations! Best pair of glasses I have ever owned.

Shuron are really cool! I've looked at the Macarthur in the past. Now if they could work a deal and knock down the price, I'd like them even more.

In understand this...he just purchased a new pair of glasses which cost him about $700, so these would be a secondary pair, so I didn't want to go all out. I just know he loves the style and has tried on a few pair but not actually bought them.

I've got about five pairs of Miklis, most square, though, a pair of round Armanis, a pair of Shady Character NYC James Dean model, and a couple of pairs of Ray-Ban Wayfarers with prescription lenses. I tend to wear mostly the Miklis, however the Wayfarers look the coolest...

In my research "horn rimmed" glasses were just that, glasses with the rims made from horn. Probably from cattle, which would make them round. [huh]

I Agree

Having paid AUD1K recently for a pair of Porsche spectacles with all the trimmings I agree.

Yeah but at Shuron they are the WWWII originals.

I bought these yesterday http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=280174986797&ssPageName=STRK:MEAFB:IT

So you mean browlined... My dad had these in the 50's, I have a square version. Nice glasses.

Shuron was the makers of the classic Brownline. As I stated in my post above, you can get them fairly cheap from Shuron direct (if you can't find a dealer that carries them locally).

I paid $97.00 for mine.

I wear black Ronsir Zyl by Shuron (Ronsir was the first and most classisc of the browline design). A very nice pair of glasses.

Just ordered frames from Shuron. Absolutely stunning customer service, immediate answer to my e-mail, order a piece of cake, good price... Then again, I compare things to France where the customer service begins with "non, ce n'est pas possible" every damn time...

Looking to get my Ronsin Zyls in a week or two...

P.S. And I don't really need glasses now, hmmm...

Did you get them in the UK or did you have to import them?

 

[The Average Joe]

This is where I'd planned on getting my next set of frames....

I ordered a pair of Shuron Revelations last week, and just had lenses put in them yesterday. I haven't bought new glasses for about six years. These will be my everyday eyes, and I couldn't be happier with the look:

 

[J. M. Stovall]

I just ordered a pair of the Revelations in tortoise that I'm going to use for sunglasses. Going with the dark green lenses too.

 

[cooncatbob]

D-Man I thought you were going to get those Harry Potter style glasses from that site you listed about 6 months ago. I got a pair and I like them a lot except I just got single vision lenses and I need bifocals when I'm on the computer or if I want to read and watch TV at the same time.

I wear the ronsir zyl in black and heartily recommend them for their quality. I get compliments on them all the time. Made in the USA and well put together. Allyn Scura makes a similar repro that isn't nearly as nice as the Shuron.
