I was wondering if anybody here owns several pairs of glasses (with the same, current prescription)?
I LOVE glasses, it's a bigger addiction then watches for me! I have 6 pairs of regular clear glasses, 2 pairs of prescription sunglasses, and 2 pairs of regular sunglasses for when I wear my contacts!

Anybody share the same passion?

I recently purchased a pair of TAG-Heuer panochromatic sunglasses, they are too cool

It's amazing how soothing a pair of sunglasses can be to make such a huge difference on the way you feel.

Oakley sunglasses are a favorite of mine. Not really into my prescription glasses though. I stick to contacts most of the time. Haven't worked up the nerve for Lasik yet.

Oakley lenses are excellent for clarity - I'm currently on my fifth pair in 13 years and I'm thinking of getting a new pair of M-frames.

Apart from my current M-frames, I swap between three pairs of wire-framed Ray-Bans and a pair of Wayfarers.

I have some Ray-Ban sunglasses and Ralph Lauren tortoise glasses. A few years ago I gave up on contacts altogether; the older I get the more dry my eyes seem to get and they were just too uncomfortable. Same with my husband, who usually has 3 or 4 pairs he wears - we both agree that if we can't look beautiful at least we can look interesting! Glasses can make such a statement... Mike, I chickened out on Lasik once I found out it can affect night vision and might mean I'd need glasses for up-close work. Have you seen video of the procedure? *shudder*.

Used to buy several pairs of sunglasses from Serrengtis, Raybans and Oakleys.

When I started riding motorcycle, I bought a pair of Oakleys. Lost it during my wedding and since then replaced it with Maui Jims.

I only have one current pair of eye wear (perscription).

Don't wear any sunglasses not my style

Paulie · 1 October 2007, 01:58 PM

Have two Ferrra glasses, with prescription. One regular/chromatic, other just sunglasses. Though at my last checkup, my prescription *went away*. The Doc just kept shaking his head. One eye is far sighted, the other is near sighted with a slight astigmatism. Guess a year of wearing glasses trained them.

I just bought a pair of Revo sunglasses, and I gotta tell ya, I love them

I always had cheap sunglasses before and there's a huge difference in the way you can see out of a good pair. Here's the pair I bought

I a pair of Panoptix Day/Night glasses when I ride my motorcycle. You get zero wind in your eyes with these babied, and you don't have to worry about bringing along another pair when the sun goes down.

I still wear my cheap ones when I'm at work

Destroy · 1 October 2007, 09:36 PM

2 pairs of sunnies, one oakley, one prada. Am about to buy some Maui Jims as they are some of the best glasses that I've ever worn in terms of clarity and "pop" when it's sunny. Go and try some on, they are AWESOME!!

Also have 2 pairs of script glasses..........one pair is the new technology wrap-around lens. Very, very sweet - they look like "clear" sunnies - except for when the transition lenses kick in.....

roadcarver · 2 October 2007, 05:05 AM

Maui Jims rock! Way better than my Oakleys, Rayban and Serrengettis.

I love Oakley!

I have a pair of Ti Half-wires and a pair of M-Frame Sweeps both w/ polarized lenses.

Polarized lenses make love to my eyeballs!

watchgeek · 2 October 2007, 05:22 AM

i'm a bit of a glasses nut as well -- Robert Marc are the ones for me -- have 4 pairs of those, 2 pairs of Olivers Peoples, and a couple Cartier -- my wife has around double that

Seadweller · 2 October 2007, 05:38 AM

1 pair Oakleys
3 pairs Ray Bans

GerardoG · 2 October 2007, 07:29 AM

Non prescription here. Sunglasses are a MUST in this place. Daily beaters are Maui Jim and Oakley (polarized); others @ office, home and car are either Cartier or Pesol.

DocD · 2 October 2007, 08:16 AM

I've always worn Oakley's and then my friend who is an optometrist gave me a lecture about the "optics" and lens quality of Serengeti's and ordered me a pair through his office (at cost).

He personally feels that the lens quality/optics are better on the Serengeti's. Since wearing them I DO really like them and now rarely wear my Oakley's but I do own both.

vh_bu98 · 2 October 2007, 11:00 AM

Due to my big head and round face, finding glasses that look good on me is quite difficult.

My prescription glasses are a pair of Calvin Klein's with custom sized rimless lenses that I've had for years because I can't find another frame that I like.

As for sunglasses, I've own Ray-Ban's, Revo's and Maui Jim's. My favorite and the best are the Maui Jim's. I currently wear the Ka'anapali although the next pair will be the Moana.
