There is no best frame, and anyone who tells you otherwise is selling one. What there is: a set of trade-offs that are real, a set of claims that are marketing, and a price that moves with market, lab and prescription. Two things we repeat because they matter more than any recommendation — a dark lens with no stated UV rating is worse than no sunglasses at all, and face-shape rules are styling conventions rather than science. We do not rank products, we do not print prices, and we have not worn these frames.
