I'm shopping around for a pair of Bausch & Lomb Wayfarers in black (Blues Brothers). I have some B&L Aviators with dark green lenses and wraparound temples and a couple of pairs of Gargoyles. But I really want them Wayfarers!

My eyes are very light sensitive and sunglasses are a necessity for me when I'm outdoors in the sun.  My eyes don't adjust to intense light (and they've probably gotten worse with sunglasses acting as a crutch), and I will get a splitting headache if I spend a significant amount of time out in the sun without protection.

I like the wrap-around glasses.  They look the best and perform the best.  I'm not a fan of the aviator sunglasses due to the way they look, but mainly because they fail in their responsiblity to block out sunlight.  If I'm wearing sunglasses I do not want to see the blinding Florida sun!  PERIOD!  I don't want my field of vision to be a nice shaded area enclosed within a ring of blinding sunlight.  Maybe aviators have changed since the 80s, but that classic style is one I can live without.


The worst part about sunglasses is that the 10 year old trend to make traditional eyewear as ugly as possible has finally infected sunglasses.  Case in point:



It's like someone decided to quadruple the size of sunglasses and style themas femininely as possible.  Awful.  Truely awful.  They're everywhere anymore and I almost want to laugh when I see a guy wearing those ridiculous things.  I can tolerate styles that I don't like, but these mega-sunglasses are so absurd that they belong in the same category as those supersized baseball hats and pants that hang around a person's knees.

I have Oakley prescription Monster Dogs -- excellent quality.   Crystal clear vision and scratch resistant.

Prescription Ray-bans.

I love sunglasses but im cursed with bad vision. So i have yet to find a good looking solution to keep my glasses whislt being protected from the sun

I have transition lenses right now but they only work outside. And i need sunglasses most in the car. I thought about buying a pair of the special kind that fit over regular glasses but they just looked stupid to me, and prescription glasses are too expensive for me

oh woe is me :(

anyone have a solution to this of sun glasses that just naturally are pretty good at fitting over regular glasses?

My brother has a some nice frames that have a set of sunglasses that pop around the front of the frame of his Rx glasses.  They are held on by magnets or something.  I like them.  They are pretty common.    I  have contacts so I don't have any.  I have a bunch of cheapies, but I would like to get a nice pair of sunglasses.  I really like Crown Deluxe.  Plus they are prescription grade frames.

Somebody needs to tell that lady that an Oompalompa stole her sunglasses :D

Sticking with my $10 Wal-Mart clip-ons.  They work well enough, don't look too bad, and save a ton of $$$ since I couldn't afford keeping up on both my regular glasses and prescription sunglasses.

I've got a few different kinds but mostly prefer wrap-arounds or anything that's close fitting...I'm wearing the cheapo's from Gander Mountain in my pic.

Ray-Ban Aviator (replaced twice under warranty, don't wear anymore)
Ray-Ban Wayfarer (don't wear)
Oakley Flak Jacket black frame/polarized black lens
(2) Gander Mountain Fisherman Alloy Matrix silver frame/blue mirrored lens
