All I want is a list of styles of glasses frames.

[The Second]

And so I do a Google search. What do I find?

Eyeglasses for face shape
Designer glasses: Cool glasses for every style
Choosing glasses: finding the right personality glasses for you
Retro eyeglasses frames

No. No no no no NO.

Why can't I have a list of glasses styles? You know, horned rimmed, cat-eyes, etc. Can anyone help me out here? Please?

Glasses frames are viewed as a fashion statement these days and as such, there are no fixed style definition due to the designer brands.

There are a number of older styles that have gone in and out of fashion however: wikipedia link (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Eyewear).

Modern styles:

Browline
Bug Eye
Cats Eye
GI Glasses
Horn rimmed
Lensless
Rimless


Historical styles:

Lorgnette
Monocle
Pince-nez
Scissors-glasses


Corrective lenses can also be subdivided by what visual defect they're fixing, such as bifocal, varifocal, etc.

This should be considered modern, as I really want them to come back into style.
