Comparing MODERN TIMES EVENT to Similar Affordable Frames
Shopping for budget-friendly prescription eyeglasses? The MODERN TIMES EVENT competes directly with other value-oriented frames in the $30-35 range, but acetate construction sets it apart from basic plastic alternatives.
EVENT vs. Other Modern Times Styles
Within the Modern Times collection, the INSIGHTFUL and UMPIRE models offer alternative styles at the identical $33.50 price point. All three share the same acetate construction quality and one-year warranty, so your choice comes down to frame shape preference and color availability. The EVENT's rectangle shape and two-tone fade design appeal to those seeking a classic, versatile look, while other Modern Times models may offer different shapes like oval or modified rectangle designs.
EVENT vs. PLASTICS II REMOTE
The PLASTICS II REMOTE ($30.29) sits slightly below the EVENT in price, but the $3 difference may reflect material quality variations. The EVENT's acetate construction offers superior durability and flexibility compared to standard injection-molded plastic frames. For daily wear, the EVENT's acetate material resists cracking and maintains its shape better over time.
Why Choose the EVENT?
The MODERN TIMES EVENT delivers acetate frame quality at a budget-friendly price. The rectangle shape works for multiple face shapes, the full-rim design accommodates various prescription types including progressives, and the three color options (Brown, Black Fade, Navy) provide versatility. At $33.50, it's an excellent choice for anyone needing reliable everyday eyewear without premium pricing.
