The Banana Sunglasses Score board
Every frame I have reviewed, scored on eight criteria against published anchors, out of 80. Click a column to sort, use the filters to narrow, click a frame for the full review. How the scoring works, and who is doing it, is on the methodology page.
I buy these frames, ride them, and score them myself. Every frame on this board is one I own and have worn, not a spec sheet I read. I photograph each one on the same reference mat and on the same face, which is mine, so the numbers and the pictures come from the same place.
I also make prescription inserts for most of these frames, which is a commercial interest you should know about before you read the RX column. How I handle that, and how every score is judged.
Deciding between two of these? Overlay them at true scale in the frame size comparison.

Totals bunch together by design: the criteria contain deliberate tensions, sealed frames cannot ventilate, gripping temples press, so strengths buy weaknesses. Read the per criterion columns, the total is the summary, not the story.
