I've got only one pair of sunglasses, it's a pair of Oakleys that I've had for years. I don't wear them much, mostly just when I'm on the bike.

I wear contacts, but for the times when they're screwing up and I need to use prescription glasses for a bit, I've got a Nike frame that I like.

I wear glasses and contacts. I prefer contacts but my glasses are just cheap black wireframe ones. Currently only wearing glasses until I can get enough together to buy some.

I have two pairs of sunglasses. A pair of vintage Ray Ban clubmasters in tort, and some Ray Ban Wayfarers.

i'm tired of wearing glasses and cannot afford lasik at the moment, is it a pain in the a$$ getting used to wearing contacts?

[GeneralElectric]

To some. I just leave mine in until they fall out. I'm not supposed to, but I've never once had an issue with my disposable contacts with it. They say 2 weeks but I've stretched them for about a month. When they become try or a particle gets in there, I rub my eye once, and it falls out.

Contacts, and occasionally (pretty much most of the summer) my oakleys.

Same here. Every once in a while, like maybe once a year, I'll have a problem where my eyes will get really irritated by the lenses, but a few days with them out followed by a change to a fresh pair and I'm good to go.

I have a pair of Oakleys that I wear. They fit my face (I have a big nose) and they feel very comfortable. They were maybe around $90.00 a few years ago but were well worth it to me. The cheap sunglasses just do not fit me right or feel comfortable on my nose.

[flipper_gv]

these, I like them very much

I got a Ray-Ban titanium for my sight glasses. Great glasses!

I don't wear sunglasses. I am "lucky" enough to wear tri-focals, nothing fancy, though. They are Polo wire frames.

[Asa Samuel]

The cheapest!

[Bob Clayton]

my glasses frames are just some no name brand, but when i have my contacts in, my sunglasses are oakley whiskey. i love them.

[Pilgrim]

I wear prescription sunglasses and recently found American Optical. Fantastic glasses, the frames are classic but strong, and they have silicone nose pads that are easy to adjust. Their pilot glasses with the paddle temples are only about $80.



Cheap sunglasses are usually optically flawed and they don't block many of the sun's harmful UV rays. Don't use them except temporarily if no others are available.

My gf is legally blind without glasses/contacts. She uses disposables and does the same, leaves them in until they either fall out or something gets in there. If she cries she get calcium deposits and has to take them out.

When it comes to sunglasses I just buy a $5-$10 pair at the swapmeet or boardwalk. I lose them too often to pay for expensive ones.

[Pilgrim]

I've found that the best way to not lose sunglasses is two steps:

1) Buy expensive ones so you have a reason not to lose them
2) If they're not on your face, put them in a case.
