Well I gave in and ordered a new set of prescription sunglasses today as the prescription was wrong and I wanted to get them sorted fairly soon.

Sometimes I wish I had contacts so I could just get a pair of bog standard sunglasses though as they are not exactly cheap.

Still the bonus is I dont have the hassle of contact lenses so I guess I win at present.

Paul,

When I could cope with glasses, I found on many occasions I was chopping and changing glasses to sunglasses it was as much hassle as wearing lenses!

Instead I got the clip on flip up sunglasses to go over my specs. Admitedly they made me look like Johny 5 from short circuit, but were a lot easier and cheap.

Gareth,

I have been switching between two pairs for years.

I find that clipons irritate me, so live with the additional wallet bashing.

The other thing is that SWMBO says I look like Keanu Reeves in them and she thinks he is hot!

:wink:

Now I enjoyed Keanu Reaves in Bill and Ted, the Maitrix films and Constantine, but don't remember him looking like number 5 from Short Circuit. Or am I mixing metaphors?

Paul, all the best with your new prescription sun specs.
