[pct-l] Sunglasses ... cheapos Vs brands ...

[Tortoise]

For all of you who wear glasses, I found some nice relatively cheap (~$20) 
fit over  and wrap around sunglasses that also polarized. These seem 
adequate and I don't notice any loss of detail or clarity other than just 
what comes with dark glasses. The wrap around is important to keep out 
bright sun from coming in the sides. I prefer the ones with each lens 
curves around to the side verses the ones with a separate smaller lens on 
each side. There are numerous sizes so you need to try various to get the 
best fit.  I took a separate pair of glasses when I shopped so I could put 
my regular glasses in them and see how the various sizes/styles fit my 
regular glasses.

At $20 I don't want to loose them; then the worst would be finding another 
pair that really fit me and my glasses well.

I wear bifocals.
