I usually buy glasses for less than $20 as long as they fit well, are
comfortable, and, looking through them, they seem to be not grossly
distorting or anything like that. I had a good pair of sunglasses
once and they didn't seem to function any better than the cheap ones,
and they succumbed to my abuse just as quickly - abuse in the form of
mistreatment and mis-placement, if you know what I mean.


I use the $20 jobs that fit over my prescription glasses. They do the job and I
don't have to pay $450 for a pair of prescription sunglasses.

Wearing a cap with a black underside to the bill helps tremendously.


When I buy new eyeglasses, I have the optical shop send the frames away
(titanium) and have a pair of sunglasses custom made for a perfect fit.
Costs me $90 - 100. each time.

I wish! My folks want $350 just for the lenses!

These are custom made snap-ons...with the four little grabbing hooks.

Ah. I've tried those, but on the boat the wind gets in my eyes and makes them
water badly. I need something with protection on the sides. When I mentioned the
price, I was referring to the wrap-around style.
