Wanted: Nerdy Glasses

March 8, 2010 10:09 AM

Okay, this is driving me crazy. On Big Bang Theory, what brand/model glasses does Leonard wear? Look a-likes would work too. I'm completely striking out. Decent picture here.

Maybe you want this link. The other one gave me a 404.

You might just ask Bill Prady, the showrunner. He's on Twitter (username billprady) and occasionally answers fan questions.

Zenni Optical has some look-alikes, browse there long enough and you'll probably find something pretty close for cheap. Never ordered from them, but mathowie has, and some other friends with decent results.

I guess mathowie ordered from this site, but my friend did buy some nerd glasses from Zenni.

I get my nerdy glasses from $39 Dollar Glasses, and they are they awesome, and the nerdy.
My profile has a photo for the curious.
Get a coupon through the previously mentioned Glassy Eyes blog, and you are in like Errol Flynn.

My family has bought four pairs of glasses [two bifocal for adults, two cheap-n-trendy for teenager] from Zenni. Don't expect them fast [maybe three-four weeks], but they're good quality and cheap.

I got a pair somewhat like that from Zenni. They rock for cheap plastic frames.

I have the same pair as PhoBWanKenobi but in blue and black. I love them.
