Sunglasses, prices, types, and your favorites.

Do you like wearing sunglasses?

How many pairs do you own?

 

[LadyEmeraude]

Presently, I have three pairs of sunglasses.
I do like wearing them when needed.
I like the look of sunglasses

My sunglasses are inexpensive, not pricy.
Have had them several years. I don't do
costly ones, for the mere fact, I am prone
to misplace, break or lose them.

Have 5, all are prescription, and 3 are transitions.

My glasses darken automatically in bright light, which is a bit of help. I wear Fit Over sunglasses almost all the time when outside. They’re really unattractive but are required.

I'd love to have transition prescription sunglasses
but the cost. How much do you pay for yours
if you don't mind my asking?

I a couple summers ago, tried the Fit Over Sunglasses
but they seemed to hinder my vision a bit.

I've been wearing sunglasses since the late 70's as it's a necessity in big sky country. SportRx has cheap frames(SportRx brand), and they can be made w any combinations of options and lens colors.

I got all of them from Zenni optical. Not sure of the total cost, because the wife does the online paying. I'll have to check.

10 pairs of transition lenses. Different styles and shapes. The VA gives me a new pair once a year.

Ray-Ban RB2027 Predator 2 that I bought when stationed in Virginia 25yrs ago
If anything happened to these, I'd look for another just like them
Worth the price because 25+yrs and still going strong

Best pair which I can't use just now is the Chemistrie magnetic clip on for prescription glasses. Had script change in Jan and at this time my prescriptions will be changing more often than the cost warrants.

I use some over the glasses type like someone gets from having cataract surgery as they fit over the frames I'm currently using. I also use the over glasses ones with inexpensive spring clip ons for when I have to drive into the sun in early mornings.

Over the past few decades I always bought matching frames so I could have dedicated prescription sunglasses. Once I tried the transitions type, in the mid '70's absolutely hated them.

I buy inexpensive sun glasses, less than $20 a pair, and have probably six pair spread out in cars and on equipment. I buy ones that have that little bifocal lens on them which makes them perfect for reading gauges or text. I'll admit to being rough on them so buying cheap makes sense.

I have many pairs of sunglasses but none are very expensive. I don't care for metal frames. Below is the style I like best.

 

[Rossana]

My glasses are prescription. They are bi-focals and have transitional lenses.
My sunglasses are Ray Ban, prescription lenses with bi-focals. The model is Jackie O. Love them because they are dark enough for the Florida sun and the frame is well made.

I was one for always wearing sun glasses but the about 7 years ago I started wearing progressives and stopped wearing sun glasses.
Fast forward, today I still wear progressives but they are transitions. Im not keen on them.
I had recent eye surgery and am required to wear sunglasses while outside, just some cheapies nothing fancy. When its not too bright out, I stick to my prescription glasses.
