I need to upgrade my crappy sunglasses now that we are back into
boating. The last nice pair I had ended up in Lake Erie 2 years
ago
while on a cruise on our friends Lyman.

Who makes a decent pair of polarized sunglasses with glass lenses?
I think my last pair was a Sunglass Hut proprietary brand......no
longer available.

My eyes are pretty sensitive to sunlight. Any suggestions?

Glass? You don't mean glass. You mean high quality plastic.

Why not glass?

Ditto. I've tried sunglasses made with different types of plastic
lenses. Seems like all had some level of distortion or aberration.
Nothing compares to glass IMO.

I agree.

Ever had a properly made pair of plastic prescription shades that cost
more than $100?

Uh...I had lasix six years ago. No need for Rx.

That's beside the point. I've had plastic prescription shades for 20
years.
No distortion. Perfect. And, you can get them made FLAT. No prescription.
They'll be thicker than ready-made shades. No distortion. Any perceived
difference in weight is imaginary, based on the need to complain about
something.

No offense Doug - ain't gonna happen.

Every eye is different and while your prescription may allow that,
most people don't.

Why do you think most of the major glasses outlets have a 30 day money
back policy? Because plastic lenses suck- in certain frames, they
really suck.

Glass is the only way to go.

Tom, you're right that plastic, in PRESCRIPTIONS, is not compatible with
everyone. But, I'm talking about a NEUTRAL lens - no prescription, like the
ones which some opticians install in "demo" frames. You can have polarized
lenses (or any lens) made this way. At the right places, it'll be a better
lens than SOME of the "ready-made" shades out there. I priced them once,
when my son was still a bit wild with lure handling and I wanted him in some
sort of eye protection. Ready-made shades were not sized right for him, in
terms of the frames.
