As the other Paul pointed out Adidas do a good range of wraparound sunspecs with prescription inserts that fit inside the glasses.Bolle also do a good range, so it's worth asking your optician to look out for them or contact the suppliers directly and ask for the stockists in your area. Patients do find them very helpful.

Or, you could wear the wrap around glasses that Geordie wears in Star Trek and walk around with me in my Borg gear....

Lou

I think we have reason to be grateful to TNG for the Geordie Leforge wrap around glasses. thanks to that bit of innovative television fashion, all sorts of companies responded with similarly encompassing sun glasses.

I'm not sure that your Borg kit will ever become such a strong fashiopn statement, but I may be wrong :oops:

I think I will keep an eye out for them next time I am getting sunglasses.

I only recently bought the ones I have in anticipation of the graft and they were not exactly cheap. They are very good, its just catching light out of the corner of my eye thats an irritant from time to time.

Think I just posted when I was at my lowest.

Tks chaps and chapesses
