Glasses are notoriously more expensive in Belgium than other countries. The "best" deal was Hans Anders, but they don't have the best quality either. Luckily now, non-prescription esp reading glasses are sold at loads of places.

I hate wearing glasses. I got these for a steal and I love the ornate detailing on them. my prescription is so bad that last time I got my eyes checked the glasses saleslady basically laughed at me when I said I wanted wire frame because the lenses have to be so thick that they need a thicker frame to house them. So these are still delicate and lightweight metal on the sides, with nice MATTE plastic.
I would completely recommend buying designer and looking for a good deal especially if you’re only planning on having one pair; I think they just look more refined and unique. I got these from GlassesUSA on clearance for $65 USD but I don’t know what the equivalent site would be for the UK.
Consider looking for vintage frames maybe too and taking them in to get lenses made for them?

Most important is that you like how you look in the frames. Try on everything and see what works on your face. What’s cool on a person with a wide face is going to look cartoonish on a narrow face. Opticians usually are very good at this so ask for help!
Salt is one of the few optical companies not owned by LVMH or other corporate behemoth. They’re expensive, though, and you’ll find similar Warby Parkers for a quarter the price or less. They’ll be heavier and not as well made, but money is money.
See if there’sa store around you that sells vintage eyeglass frames. Much cooler than anything new and not expensive at the store near me at least (frames under $200).

The puffin is the latest addition to more than 180 known species—many of them sharks, corals, and other marine animals—that emit a luminous glow.
The fact that so many marine animals biofluoresce "tells us organisms are using light in ways we don't even see," John Sparks, curator of fishes at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City.
