Sunglasses - recommendations?

I use what I get at my eyeglass place for my prescription. I prefer the brown shade as it makes color look better and they are also polarized. I don't waste the money on that "anti glare" #### and the scratch resistant stuff as it is a waste of money. The brown works wonders in the snow and cuts the glare. I don't worry about the side #### on some of these old fogey glasses!! BUT I can NOT stand the skylight in freight liners! Darn sun shines down behind the glasses! Stupidest thing they could have ever put in a truck! A Skylight!

 

I've been a "4 eyes" for 20 years. Best thing for me is photo gray (auto darkening)glasses. However, I found one company that can do them in brown tinting. Rollover is right on the brown. I drive in WA state so I get a lot of roadmist, which the browns cut nicely.
If I have to do without those, I use clip-ons with a flip up. Very handy driving mountains in the late afternoon.

 

I recommend Sarengeti sunglasses with the drivers lenses. I have tried numerous other types. However I can wear serengeti all day with very little eye fatigue. You can pick up a pair at Wallys World for around a hunge or on-line for even less. They come in various frame styles to match your taste. I like them because their lenses are glass and don't scratch as easy.
Good luck and there will be some other opinions to follow from here no doubt.

 

I just got my first pair of REAL Ray-Bans from my eye doc. Very light prescription for distance, and a little spot for close up reading (hence bi-focals). They fit great, are polarized and just dark enough. I'm hooked. I'm sure they cost more than usual since they are prescription, but worth it for me and I only paid copays for them.

 

IMO.. the best place to get your lenses is at Costco.. plus many locations have an independent optometrist on site if you need your eyes checked..

The standard charge for lenses is a flat $50 and they include scratch and anti-glare for free.. and frames are from $40-50 and up.

I choose to have the Transition darkening system added for an extra 50..

all in all 150 with the frame i choose.. not bad considering same glasses quoted at some of the eyeglass chains for the same thing was gonna run me 300-400..

 

I reccomend...that you DONT use any sunglasses...for a seat cushion!
Very uncomfortable and expensive!
