Cal,

Go to King Optical in Braintree. Kind of hard to find. I have been going there since I was a kid. They can make presciption polariods for $150 or so. No they won't be as nice as Maui Jim's or the other fancy ones but I like what I have and when they got knocked off y our head they won't hurt the wallet as much.

Brought my prescription to Walmart Vision and got the polarized lenses and frames for just under $100! I no I break or loose sunglasses like mad so I wasnt going to spend a fortune. I know there are better out there but I was pleasantly surprised that they were decent for that amount of money. Not to mention your prescrition changes so......

Also if you have an old pair of frames you can see if they can put just the polarized/presciption lenses in them. May help you save a few $$$.

Simplify.......

My wife had the surgery last week... She just about had coke bottles for glasses. She says her vision is better than when she wore contacts or her glasses. ...Now she can see how ugly I am.

I tired of my glasses and I hate contacts, since it worked so well for her I am scheduled in about three weeks to get mine done. Its not cheap but you only go around once, might as well be able to see the view.
