Maui Jim is one expensive brand that everyone I know who has bought them loves.

Yes! I'm on my first pair of Maui's and I don't begrudge a penny I spent on them ($160) - very light, very comfortable, ballistic non-scratch lenses (supposedly, time will tell) and some kind of resin frame that you can bend and twist into a pretzel and it just snaps back into form. If/when I lose these I know it'll be heartbreaking and will have nothing to do with how much they cost.

I think the best idea is to go to a store (sunglass hut or wherever), try a bunch on, and figure out what the best one for your face is. Having an unbiased female opinion is a HUGE help.

I have a pair of Oakley's (third one of these) and I think they're pretty generic. Then, I went into the store, elicited a female's help and wound up with a great pair of Pradas a year ago. Have gotten a bunch of compliments since then.

Someone aside from CDC needs to purchase this pair. You know who you are.

I really liked the Maui Jims I ordered from Party, and then I cracked them the first time I wore them.

Then I accidentally (sort of) bought a pair of Bulgari Aviators for WAY too much money. I really like them and I'm definitely converted that nicer sunglasses are well worth it.

Where's the best outlet to get prescription sunglasses that don't look goofy? An optometrist?

Thx in advance

I've had a couple pair from Fossil and liked them OK. Always on the "these are fine" and not "I love these so much" level.

Right now, I have a pair from Kenneth Cole that I like a bit better. Still not massively in love with them, but they're nice and are holding up well with daily use.

Not a great picture, but gives the general idea:

yes, my dad went to your basic franchise optometrist and got a pair of perscription raybans with the "invisible" bifocal and they look great. as long as there isn't too much of a wrap in the frame, they'll be able to do just about anything for you.

I got LASIK surgery a few weeks ago and picked up a new pair of these last week. I love em.

I have a enourmous head.

I pretty much only buy Spy, big lensed sunglasses. They're a little pricey, and I go through atleast a pair a year... but for some reason I just keeping going back.

I really like the adidas range. Here is my current one.
