Sunglasses & Eyecare

the opticians i use for glasses, can make perscription sunglasses for 95% of the sunglasses they sell. that includes oakley, ray-ban, adidas, bolle etc. they make the lenses themselves and can do them polarised if needs be and fit them to nearly all the frames, except the wrap around frames with lenses over a ridiculous radius. 4 years ago, i got them to stick some presciption polarised lenses in a pair of £90 oakley tewenties. cost roughly £160 which aint bad. if i wanted genuine oakley lenses it was closer to £300. i lost them overboard and i highly reccomend tight sunnies or a lanyard. now i just use some northshore polarised sunnies with contacts, cost £35 so couldnt care less if i lost them.

Anyway my point is, they dont have to be that expensive, you can get all the stylish models as well.  the guys that did mine are: the spectacle maker-vectis optical labratories ltd (01983 525272) dunno a web addy. might be worth finding a pair of sunnies and getting them to do the lenses. they cant b the only people that do this and im sure any optician will know who does it.

with those guys, they give you the original lenses also, so if you ever want to give the sunnies away or use them as normal sunglasses, you can switch the lenses by putting the frame in boiling water.
