Armless glasses

[Marf]

I want to get a pair of armless glasses, but can't seem to find any anywhere?!

Anyone know of a website or optician that has a range of armless specs?

That just sit on your nose? Do they even make these...?

Pince nez?

Like Laurence Fishburne wears in the Matrix?

We used to have these when we were kids, got them out of cereal packets I think.

They were mirrored and they were basically sunglass shaped plastic that wrapped up into a 1cm diameter cyclinder when you werent wearing them. When you needed them, you un wrapped them and just stuck them on your face. The force of them wanting to roll back up, made the edges grip the side of your face, and they stayed there.

Crap.

I wore a pair once for a school play (many years ago). Hurt like a bd as I recall

Yep, I've seen pics of people wearing them, I just can't seem to find them for sale!

Yes, that kind of style, not necesarily exactly the same as them though. Ideally looking for rimless and armless.

Well I don't feel so smug now. Suppose you have already tried asking at an opticians?

Even Laurence Fishburne would look a tt if they flew off in a strong wind. Nice idea, though.

Not yet no, was hoping to find some online as glasses are generally cheaper from online suppliers.
