For prescription sunglasses, what would you do?

I am somewhat nearsighted with astigmatism.

I will be getting a new pair of sunglasses.

Would you go for generic frames or designer frames?

Also, would you get the cheap plastic lenses, spend $70 on better polycabonate lenses, or spend an extra $150 and go for the aspherical top quality polycarbonate that significantly reduces distortion?

Thanks!

I found a pair of clip-ons. They look good -- they are exactly the same size as my regular glasses and attach with brackets. I pull the lenses apart, stretching the springs, then fit the brackets around my glasses. Cost $15 -- a lot cheaper than new prescription sunglasses.

I haven't gotten just frames on ebay so I don't know if you get a hassle when you bring your own (new) frames to an optician for lenses.

I have gotten new designer $250.00 retail non-prescription sunglasses for less than $50.00 on ebay.

You always need to confirm the frames or sunglasses are your measurments (size) before bidding.

get the kind of sunglasses clip that will magnetically attach to your glasses; I love them!

get a headache or eyestrain.

BUT...I totally use good clip-ons on my regular glasses just like the person above does.

Seven years ago I had cataract surgery. Since then, I have to use reading glasses because everything closer than about 18 inches is blurry. For distance my left eye needs a correction of lrss than .25 so my doctor said to just use reading glasses. But I like to go fishing and it was a hassle trying to tie knots. I ended up at the Wal-mart eyeglass shop and got basic metal rim frames for $18 and the bifocal lenses with tinting were $60 more. I couldn't see spending a lot on glasses that I might drop in the bay. My wife goes for the designer frames and expensive lenses and loses at least one pair a year. It costs her about 4 times what I spent and I stll have the cheap ones I bought 6 years ago.

...there are none so blind as those who will not see.

I'm so broke that walmart is upscale shopping

lots of designs to choose from and made in the USA. May I mention I ride a Harley so I really need durable frames, and these have never disappointed. Had a pair I wore in a nasty MC wreck, I suffered some fairly serious injuries but the glasses (and the bike) were fine.

Went to one of the discounter/wholesale stores like CostCo (this was back in the '80s, the glasses are long since gone) and got a pair of RayBans dirt cheap, then had the lenses made to fit.
