Speaking of sunglasses.......

Since I am not a candidate for LASIK, I wear contact lenses most of the time. However, due to an eye condition, I sometimes have to wear glasses for weeks at a time. The prescription sunglasses I have had for the past couple of years really suck, as they are pair of regular glasses with dark coated lenses. The sun tends to "get behind" the lens if it is over my shoulder, for example, and then there's nothing but glare. I hate them.

So, I went to my optometrist, and looked at what wrap around styles they might have that can be fitted with a prescription. I opted for glasses made in Italy by a company called "The Rudy Project."

They are nice glasses, and have a great feature - you can swap the lenses.

So, I bought a set of lenses with my prescription in them, and also some that have no magnification for when I am wearing my contacts. Total cost was $340 Canadian, which is still cheaper than my Oakleys were.

Here they are with the non-prescription lenses in:



And here they are with the prescription lens inserts sitting in front:



You can also get different coloured lenses if you want to swap in different light conditions, or for different activities.
