[thegardens3b]

Who here got more then 1 pair of specs to rotate around? I almost every year get 1 new pair.. Have abt 8 pairs in rotation now. How abt u?

very nice. 8 pairs is quite a rotation.
i have a few pair myself but i rarely rotate. sometimes feel like wearing then just take and wear hahaha.
sometimes too many choices also not good

I’d like to get some advice on prescription sunglasses. My wife has just had treatment for retina tears and somehow become very sensitive to light. Also cannot use contact lens like before.

She wants a good pair of light frame sunglasses with prescription tinted lens. Preferably polarized. Her RX is in the range of -5.0. Any brand of lenses to recommend?

Don’t mind travelling to a good shop. Budget around $5-600.

That might still be an issue to her as light can still enter from the top and the side.

You might want to consider asking her to get a fitover instead, really light-weight and covers almost all area that is exposed as compared to when wearing a sunglass(side,top of frame exposed). Cost of a fitover is somewhere along 50-200(depending on brand/quality). That is unless she doesnt fancy the outlook. But its for the protection which i believe is more important.

Hey there,imo once you are wearing a sv individual, depending on your clarity tolerance, not many lenses can actually be on par with it in terms of coating and clarity. You might consider NIKON SEEMAX INFINITE. But it is also pretty costly like your zeiss lens.
