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.

Plastic qualifies as a "sports" or "safety" lens. Nice for deflecting flying
objects, like fishing lures. Glass does not. If you wanna do polarized
right, go to an eyeglass place and ask them to make you a pair of polarized
shades with no prescription.

I agree.

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

Yep, and I have no problem spending up to $200 for good sunglasses.

Maui Jim.

Go to sunglass hut, pick out your style, then buy 'em on ebay.

Too damned expensive retail.

The polarized Aviators by RayBan is not a bad way to go.

I don't wear prescription glasses (yet), but I have tried some high quality
(over 100 bucks) plastic sunglasses. You will think I am nuts but I ride a
Harley and for some reason I have never felt comfortable viewing through
plastic lenses, even the expensive ones. There is a distortion that I just
don't like. I've noticed the same thing in some glass lenses as well, but
not to the same degree as the plastic. A well made pair of lightweight
glass sunglasses provide a non-distorted view that I am comfortable with
when riding.
