  My budget is about $150, Just getting a new pair of specs as my current pair looks kiddish and I can't be wearing contacts all the time.
  
  my degree is about 325 and 425 for left and right
  
  any recommendations?

  You definitely can't get titanium for that price.
  
  Anyway, are you into sports? If yes, then the weight and the durability is the main concern.

  I think making a brand new pair will exceed your budget as lenses aren't cheap, given your current eye degrees. You have to stick with your current frame and lower your expectations.
  
  Otherwise, up your budget is the only choice.

  not really. you should be able to get a pair at 150 together with the lenses.
  
  as long as you don't go for those special lenses.

  You may wish to consider going through lasik... Its a one time cost and after this you can save more money on the long run... plus also enjoy the convenience/ freedom without glasses.

  Did you know optical shops are cheating the hell out of you when you buy lenses? transitions costs only around 40 per lens. how much they charge?
