ligs Posted May 21, 2005 Share Posted May 21, 2005 ...and are well worth the £135 i payed... What are they, magic sunglasses? I can't imagine paying that much for any fashion accessory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ED Posted May 21, 2005 Share Posted May 21, 2005 Whichever ones you get make sure they actually protect your eyes, I think you have to pay more for the lenses that block out all the UV rays and shit. I'm not sure poundland glasses do that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ligs Posted May 21, 2005 Share Posted May 21, 2005 Probably not, but they're better than nothing and are an improvement on squinting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NibblyPig Posted May 21, 2005 Share Posted May 21, 2005 Actually, unless they are UV protective, sunglasses can actually make the situation worse... if they're not UV protective, they simply make the eye think it's darker than it is... allowing the pupil to open and allowing UV rays to infiltrate and damage the eyes... My advice: get UV400+ protective sunglasses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xliosive Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 It's the best way to look cool in the summer, or at parties. Try dangling a pair of fluffy dice from the rim of your glasses at a garden party to maximize coolness. Also, try whistling 'sussudio' by phil collins, in a pair of sunglasses as a way of impressing dinner guests before the h'ordeurves arrive. If you are troubled by people constantly walking in on you when you are taking a shower; try wearing a pair of shades throughout your shower. Should someone rudely disturb you mid-shower, they will be shocked and confused by the image you present to them and they will never walk into the showering area again leaving you to have stress-free showers!

ender4 Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 if you don't need prescription sunglasses, then only should pay around £15-£20. if you need prescription ones, then you're probably looking at £100+ i have prescription ones, exactly same as my normal glasses, but with dark lenses. i bought the normal glasses, and got the sunglasses free. A lot of opticians have offers like this from time to time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowychap Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 I take sunglasses out with me whenever I go out and there is the possibility of sun. I have a problem where I sneeze repeatedly at bright sunlight or the reflection thereof. Winter sun tends to be worse than summer sun as it is lower. I find cycling sunglasses to be most effective and I bought a couple of pairs from Decathlon in France a few years ago for about 20 euros each - excellent gear (used on golf course often) and look smart, too.

Stevo985 Posted March 28, 2009 VT Supporter Share Posted March 28, 2009 Nowt wrong with a decent pair of sunglasses. I've been known to be seen with a nice pair of Ray Bans myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villadude Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 I don't ever buy the original stuff, just buy the cheap copies, if I buy a pair of shades they're normally lost/broken/stolen within about 24 hours, give or take a few mins... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbaldie1 Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 ... on a side issue... I was driving down the road the other day and a cop pulled me over. He said: "Your licence requires to wear glasses when driving Sir"... I said: "I've got contacts" He said: "I don't care who you know... you're coming down to the station" made me chuckle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbaldie1 Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 I look a Knob in shades, but will wear them while driving (hopefully no-body will notice me) I pay around a fiver for mine, I`m not going to pay loads to look a bigger knob :? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant(aka_eddy) Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 I've never heard of anyone disliking sunglasses before. The people you refer to would be tossers whether they had sunglasses or not. The fact that the other 95% of the population use them too negates them from being a factor i reckon. Whilst i do like designer ones i never buy them myself as i am pretty bad at loising or breaking them. Ok you will wear them for bbq's and the like but also for holidays (leave on the beach while you're in the sea) and whilst doing activities. I wouldnt go for designer knock offs as you cant guarentee they have the right coatings to protect your eyes from the suns rays, just a tint. Instead I go somewhere like Next and pick out a pair of the funkier aviators from their range. Stylish, all the right coatings on the lenses and set me back a grand total of 12 quid. Winner!

Tom_L Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 I've got a couple of pairs (btw why is it a pair of sunglasses? I only ever get the one!)... my stance on them is simple. I wear them when the sun is bright. I don't when it's not. I don't give a toss what people think! That's their problem, not mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LancsVillan Posted March 29, 2009 Moderator Share Posted March 29, 2009 Nowt wrong with a decent pair of sunglasses. I've been known to be seen with a nice pair of Ray Bans myself. I'm on my third pair of Ray Bans and luckily I get them cheap as I did break one pair whilst drunk. I know Paulobarnesi swears by the cycling glasses I helped him acquire too.

saturdaygig Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 My x-frames were 180 quid. Same as my t-wires. The e-wires and the plastics were cheaper. Prices have probably fallen over the last few years. I like Oakley's becuse I can wear them for hours without noticing. I can only wear my Ray-Bans for an hour before they get annoying. You can get Oakleys with presciption lenses on the high street. Its always nice to see someone with lots of money spending it so wisely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
