Funny you mention it, I have a friend I haven't talked to since high school that just tagged me in a post on Facebook. Evidently they have stumbled upon an incredible deal on Ray Bans. Let me grab the link.

maybe even less for me....use cheap sports type sunglasses (think they are Ironman brand or something) when I am doing yard work or things that I may be likely to lose or damage them. A good pair of sunglasses should last a long time.

Yeah, I have a couple of pairs of Maui Jims. Solid lenses and great polarization.

Same. I got Lasik a few years back, and my eye doc told me that cheap sunglasses damage your eyes. Basically, it's better to wear no sunglasses at all than to wear cheap (non-polarized) ones.

My Oakley Carbon Plate Scuderia Ferrari Frames retailed for $424, while my hi-index prescription, top of the line tinted lenses retail for $350 for a total of just under $800 with tax...

With insurance I paid about $325, as I recall...

I spent $400 on a pair of Prada glasses when I was in my 20s. I lost them in about 3 weeks.

Without fail, if I spend more than $40 on sunglasses, I break them or lose them. At this point, my favorites are the wayfarer style shades from Vans. $12 a piece.

I’m the opposite. I bought cheap CVS sunglasses for years and constantly broke or lost them. I finally bought a nice pair and they’ve been with me for years.

That's me as well. I have 3 pairs of Maui Jims that I have bought over the years (different lens colors for different conditions and sports). Since they are fairly pricey, I take care of them and keep track of them like they are my car keys or phone. I have one pair that I have had at least 10 years.

I'm pretty sure none in my collection have cost me more than $50. I've received a few pairs of Maui Jims, Oakleys, & Kaenons as gifts from girlfriends and family members over the years, who know I'd never pay the premium prices they ask for them.
