Wiretap is supposed to be prescription frame model right? Most shop should be able to do it. It is all about your expectation, are you ok with 5mm lens? Considering your degree, i guess no choice your lens will be thick. I also that thick. =:p

I also put prescription lens on Juliet oakley. Again, it is all about your expectationi

i tink its a sunglass frame but veri popular for making prescription...yup,cuz of high degree,tts y lens very thick.i still tinking about whether to make or not....the shop also suggested an alternative,straighten the frame to negate the curve but i not sure how it will look.... anyone got experience with this method?

help guys,

i thinking of buying sunglasses , no need to be fashionable type but must have good protection.

I heard those curved sunglasses offers better protection but if you make prescription lens, depending on your degree, it may distort your vision. should i wear contact lens and wear the normal sunglass or how should i go abt the problem?

another alternative is those clipped on sunglasses but i am not sure if it is equally good. those clipped tinted lens one a bit small leh.

I am confused as to which alternative to take. hope to hear frm you experts.

The sunglass is for me to wear during driving only occassionally.
