Members, I am looking for some good quality well built frames which can last long. Functionality and build quality are preferred over looks.
My last one purchased locally a year ago is now approaching it's retirement. I am in Bengaluru and known options are -
1. Vision Express
2. Titan Eye+
3. Lenskart
4. Local optical store
Please suggest based on experience. I have mostly used non branded frames purchased locally. Most last 1-1.5 years and I am not sure if branded ones are better.
 
In 2022 my daughter bought Tommy Hilfiger frame and Crizal lenses from Lawrence & Mayo both costed 10k. They will also test the eyesight for free. Till today no probs what so ever.
We also went to Lenskart but they were suggesting some unknown brands and glasses starting from 8k and glasses price extra. Even Lenskart also will test your eyesight for free.

Rimless titanium ones seem to last well and are light and 'bendy'. Mine has lasted almost a decade. I still use it, but for some reason its screws fell off couple of times.
I bought it when buying locally was the only option, atleast known to me.

Why only frame? Some years back I used to buy the frame and lens from local optical shops. Mainly I used to buy the premium brands like crizal, varilux, zeiss etc... Usually they last for couple of years and then I had to change the optical along with the frame due to the power fluctuation in the eyes. These usually cost around 15K along with the frames. I felt that it was a waste of money just changing the optical every two years for this much of an amount. Now I usually buy from Lenskart or Specmakers for around 7K to 8K. I wouldn't put their quality like the high end brands but they are decent and good.

If your are looking for frames alone check out Lenskart or Specmakers. I've been using it for few years now and they have many models to choose and is of good quality. They also have branded ones.
