re: Talk to me about prescription sunglasses

If you do any type of sport, find a color that helps you with it. Otherwise, go with a Grey that will work well for driving.

Needing some sporty glasses I got some Oakley Flak 2.0 XL online at SportRx. Expensive to start with, but you can change the lenses yourself to match different sport needs or to update later. SportRx has their own line of lenses, so you're not stuck with only Oakley lens prices.

You can go to Lenscrafters to test Oakley frames, but if you buy there, it will be even more expensive.

If you don't want to go that route, smaller eyewear dealers often have WileyX brand, which are a good value brand--high quality but not as expensive as Oakley or Costa.

Get them polarized. Makes a big difference in reducing glare.

Hope that helps.

I finally bit the bullet and got glasses this year. I went to Lens Crafters (I didn't know where else to go).

For prescription sunglasses, Sport RX. Upload your prescription, choose your lenses, coating, frames, etc. and in a few weeks the glasses arrive. Have ordered several pairs from them.

Wear a monocle you’ll have to keep all the free pussy at bay with a stick

Zenni

you could be super cool like me and just get those big arse ones that slip over your regular glasses.

I have a pair. Worth it

My prescription sunglasses are progressive and were about 400 at eyemasters. I've had them 4 years and they are in bad shape. Im in the pool a lot and they go to beach. They have spots and pock marks all over them. Going to eye doctor tomorrow. Has anyone used Costco for glasses?

If you have a large head, the best pair you can find will be Maui Jim Peahi’s. They are expensive but you have options, I’d be glad to explain if you’re interested.

Maui Jim

I’ve owned so many different types bc I’ve worked outside since college and I fish constantly. Costas used to be great but when they were picked up by Oakley their stuff went downhill, even though I do have a pair of the Reeftons with the tiger shark frames.

Edit, you can get a nice pair of glasses on eBay, I’ve bought every style of frame from eBay and I have bought lenses directly from Maui Jim (I can figure out the company if you’re interested)I don’t have a prescription for my eyes but the Maui Jim lenses are, in my opinion, the best on the market. I’ve tried the third party lenses and they don’t compare.

Sure, post your phone number and I’ll call

Transition lenses. They turn dark when you go out in daylight.

Use a lint free cloth to clean them. You can't clean them with just any old thing.
