Sunglasses

I have a pair of Nike polorized by Marchon for when I wear contacts, other than that I have some Transitions with Ice Blue AR coating.

Sam, why such a hard time fitting your lenses to your frames? should be easy enough unless the Effective Diameter is too great and you are Myopic.
In such a case you would need to flatten the base curve of the frame using frame pliars and induce a little panascopic tilt. Your Optician should understand this and find is usefull in fitting your lenses in the frame. This is for a metal frame though with some carbon frames it is imposible and you would need to switch frames. if you are hyperopic you can go into just about any frame so long as the lens matches the base curve of the frame.

A few pairs of Oakley's and 2 pairs of Aviators.

My experience with the expensive glasses is that I will lose them faster than the cheap ones.

That said, I still have the same like new RayBans someone else had lost that I found on the side of the road while walking to a Texas Tech game in Lubbock 4 years ago.::Banana::

I usualy get cheepo sunglasses. Recently I got a deal for Oakleys 60% off and no taxes strait from Oakley delivered. So I just picked up a pair of minute man polarized glasses. That fit pretty nice but I haven worn them anywhere yet.

10 dollar polarized foster grants from walmart. Liked em so much I bought all they had at 3 walmarts. Turned out to be 6 or 7 pair which I'm down to one now after about a year.

Had a pair of 100 dollar ray ban cats back in the early nineties that had diamond scratch lenses. They were the most scratch resistant lens I ever saw. Had that pair over two years then they got ran over and crushed by a truck. Now Ray Ban doesn't make that diamond lens anymore so I get the cheapies at Walmart.

Ray Ban was sold off about 10 years ago by Bausch & Lamb. I had a pair of Ray Ban driving glasses that highlighted the red's and greens. Those were my favorite sunglasses until I dropped them and shattered one of the lenses.

Maui Jim - good pair for driving, walmart special - for river (Brazos b/t Cleburne & Glen Rose), both polarized!! I had a good pair of Roy Bans and lost them in the river!!

I found a knockoff pair of polarized glasses that look just like these MJ's at Bass Pro shops for about $30. I love them...

Are they black wrap arounds with rubberization on them... if so those are the ones I bought...., Target had some recently for $12......

Nope they were silver metal framed with oval low profile lenses.

hmm... pics?

I love the foster grants I picked up because they are comfortable. I tried on a bunch of oakleys around xmas and nothing felt good. I have a big head :(

Those are really cool.

CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP...I am always losing them. Except for my motorcycle sunglasses/goggles - don't want them shattering in my eyes.
