Personally i avoid visible branding, and at that point you can just go with whatever frame you like. Investing in high quality lenses is much better spent money in my experience, lightweight+deglared+extra thin lenses make a world of difference for comfortable wearing over longer time for me.
Apparently when you get Ray Ban frames for prescription glasses, you can pay extra to have the Ray Ban logo engraved on them. So if you see someone with prescription glasses with the Ray Ban logo, you can lose a little more respect for them.
I used to like Ray Bans, too. Then Luxotica bought them and they’ve never got any on my money since. I buy exclusively from Costco because they only sell non-Luxotica brand glasses for significantly cheaper.
Prescription sunglasses look identical to aviators, at a fraction of the price.
Why? Smart glasses are stupid and no one should be buying them. They are a scam and another form of constant surveillance and recording. Only now with more accurate face recognition. All hail the future police state.
Sadly, they are expensive, but they look good and have great quallity in my experience.
As for glasses, five years ago, I got my first Lindberg glasses, and I am never going back to other brands.
I am currently on my third pair of black Lindberg Aaron and my current sunnies are a pair of gunmetal Persol PO1027S with custom brown lenses.
I have all of my pervious Lindberg frames and will start reusing them next time, as for the Persol, I lost my earlier pair of an earlier model of Persol sunglasses, but I plan on getting new models or a new pair of the same model to have some spares or variation.
I was always a fan of Ray Ban and got their glasses/sunglasses. Guess I need to look elsewhere since this god awful partnership.

Would be great of Costco had their own brand of smart glasses

did not know Costco sold exclusively non-luxo glasses - interest piqued
Sam’s does the same and you don’t need a membership to use the eye center for either.
Might I suggest Persol?
