Sunglasses

Where do you get yours?

Summer is coming, days seem to be getting brighter...i need some protection!

99% of Oakleys don't suit about 99% of people, so they're a no go.

What would you recommend?

usually wait till i'm off on holiday and get some at the airport in duty free, try raybands are usually good, i like oakleys also(i know you don't).

I always get cheap ones so if I break them it doesn't matter.

I break them a lot.

I bought myself a nice pair of Oakleys last summer off an eBay shop, very happy with them, always need to keep them clean though, as they'll look pants otherwise

I've got some nice Raybans. They do quite a few different styles to suit most people.

It all depends on your requirements. Normally you can pick up a pair for £20 in boots that look just as good as designer ones (which lets face it, ARE a rip off given the cost of the materials used). I dont think its really worth investing much more unless you plan to wear them a lot. I only got expensive ones myself because I detached my retina and had to have my pupil dilated for a month.

Thats what I used to think, but if you try their prescription range of eyewear you'll find something that suits you I guarantee it.
Depends how much you want to spend though.

I know I'll be getting myself some Aviators for the summer

You never heard of lens cleaner? I've had mud dust etc on my HJ's and a bit of lens cleaner and a microfibre cloth leave them looking good as new

My optician saw it. I didn't notice any change in vision and didn't remember banging my head, so it was either alton towers (which I went to shortly before it was spotted) or it had been there unnoticed since birth or something.

No doubt. Break 'em or lose 'em. Just get a £2.50 pair at the local petrol station. Nobody really cares what kind of glasses a person wears anyway.
