Sunglasses

You didn't say if you needed prescription or not.
I'll tell you about my prescription glasses.

I've used 'Suntiger' http://www.suntiger.com/ for
one full season and have liked them.

I do have bifocals and I ordered on line and they came
in the mail just fine. They didn't have the 'high
performance' type of plastic for the lenses, thus for
my prescription, the lenses are 'coke bottle bottoms',
but they work well.

I was skeptical because they don't appear to have as
much tint as I had been using. My previous pairs of
prescription glasses were rather dark green or brown.
You couldn't see my eyes behind the glasses out in
bright sun. The Suntigers are different and they look
like there isn't much of the orange tint there, but
they do work! I don't squint with these as much as
I did with the 'darker' sunglasses.

Total cost was around US$180. I didn't buy the 'anti-glare'
or the 'scratch resistant' extras. Just the metal
frames and the prescription bifocals, with the visible
line across the lens.

When my prescription changes, I'll get another pair
of Suntigers.

And, I'm sure you can buy non-prescription Suntigers.
