Will you be getting yourself a pair of barf-tinted sunglasses, sir?

Talk to me about prescription sunglasses

its best to get the sunglasses

i have the transition lenses and its always problematic when im working outside and need to look into shaded areas so i have to take them off and then im blind but at least i can see what im looking at

if i had to do it over again i would definitely get straight sunglasses for fishing and whatnot and im never getting transitions again. they work ok, just not for my liking and walking inside leaves me standing there blind waiting for them to change back

Been wearing Maui Jim’s for 20+ years. Prescription has always been spot on even with progressive bifocal lenses. Expensive but worth the money.

Much like you, I wear reg glasses seldom but for the past 6-7 years I’ve had prescription sunglasses as I’m nearsighted. I do t need them indoors but am outside a lot. I’ve paid for Oakleys and costas. Prob 5 pair through the years. Def worth it for polarized mirrored with scratch coating. Like I said , I’m outside alot. The issue is, the lenses are not from Oakley or costa. Just the frames. I have had no issues with any of them except the harpoon costas as the lenses swirlied really bad. If you have a pair of non prescription frames you like already, there are companies hang will custom cut and fit prescription lenses but it’s all depending on your prescription on price. I’ve paid about 500 a set.

Love my Warby Parkers. Great customer service and most are under $200

Why didn’t you get Costa lenses in the Costa frames? You can get a 580 lens with prescription.

I got a pair of progressive bifocals with transition lens oakleys this year. They go dark in the sun and clear inside. I am very happy without the arm and leg I had to give for them.

I was gifted some Rayban Clubmasters that are prescription and they are amazing quality and better view than my normal glasses.
On the contrary, I bought some cheap prescription sunglasses from Zenni and they are tinted and prescription, but they leave a lot to be desired.

Obviously, $550 sunglasses > $30 sunglasses
