Here's a link to my review of the ROKA Rx eyeglasses I ordered after doing the home try-on.

REVIEW: ROKA Rx Glasses (For Strong Prescription, Low Nose Bridge)
[ Ссылка ]

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
UPDATE 9/5/20: One big downside with my glasses so far is that the "gecko" rubber nosepads starts to deteriorate after about 45 days. When new, the nosepads are hard and over a short period of time they become spongy and bits of rubber start to flake off. This happened with my original nosepads and the replacement ones they sent me (for some reason, it's the right nosepad that's worse off.) This could be because I like to wash my glasses once a night with water and a tiny amount of dish soap (perhaps the water gets trapped) or because it's in contact with the oils on my face. But, ROKA is supposed to be sweatproof, so the nosepads breaking down with water or oil makes no sense to me. I don't think the gecko rubber on the nosepads do much to help the glasses stay on my face so I'd prefer plastic waterproof nosepads that won't disintegrate. ROKA's customer service was great in sending me 2 extra sets of nosepads, but it's not feasible for me to email them every 3 months asking for replacements.

UPDATE 11/5/20: I easily ripped off the disintegrating rubber off the plastic part of the nosepad, so it's just bare plastic on my face and no "Asian Fit" adjustment. It works better than when I tried to the glasses with zero nosepads. I've also bought separate black silicone nosepads off of Amazon, which I prefer, but they only stick on for 2 days and the adhesive starts to fail. My next experiment will be to try to superglue the silicone nosepads to the bare plastic piece-- but silicone needs a special glue to stick to it. My experiment using hot glue and a water-based superglue didn't work. I bought a $3 tube of superglue meant for rubber and it'll be worth a shot. I'll be posting a video on my ROKA sunglasses sometime and I'll include the issues I have with my nosepads.

---------------------
I’m picky when it comes to glasses because I have a low nose bridge, so plastic frames tend to slide down my nose. Adjustable nosepads help decrease sliding, but these usually come only on wire frames, but wire frames are not very attractive with the thick lenses I require.

ROKA is an athletic eyewear company that’s branching out into prescription glasses. They claim that their glasses won’t slip off your face (which I can confirm is true—a godsend for people like me that feared their glasses would fly off while riding a rollercoaster).

In my video, I mistakenly thought this meant that the glasses wouldn’t slip down your nose. There was a bit of slippage, which I expected, but it’s much better than the other plastic frames I’ve had. (Time will tell though).

Also, I believe the Lola frames fit well because the nose bridge was narrower, so the nose pads sat better on my nose.

I’ll post another video after my prescription glasses come in!
