I had corneal transplants over 20 years ago. I wear my prescription sunglasses whenever I’m outside. Everyday. All the time. My eye surgeon told me to. I get high end lenses to protect my eyes. Single power prescription. I have two pairs of sunglasses. Keep a pair as a backup. The frames of my backup pair are over 10 years old.

Re: “I picked up my new prescription lenses for my sunglasses. Just the lenses.” I save money where I can.

Rather than getting pricey bi-focals or tri-focals, a few months ago I bought several pairs of single prescription glasses dedicated to distance, computer use or reading. It's the second time I've done that. I buy three styles of frames so it's obvious which pair does what.

I hardly ever use the distance glasses. I had lasik 25 years ago and my distance vision is still decent.

While I went low end, the on-line seller had a nice selection of both plastic and metal frames. They look fine - but I'm not a social butterfly - unlike most of this board's members - so who cares? I passed on scratch resistant lenses, ultra-thin lenses, transition lenses and tinted lenses. I re-used my last prescription.

I wanted replacement glasses because I'd lost two pairs, scratched two others and stepped on one pair while mowing a field. Entirely my fault.

Every four years or so, I'll get an exam. Cataracts run in my family, so a doctor should check my eyes every so often.

Oh, the price. I paid $10 per pair - up from $6 per pair 18 months ago.

I didn't buy prescription sunglasses since I don't like them, but I could have. If everything else had stayed the same, they would have been $20 apiece.
