Thanks to all who replied to my question about distance-only vs. progressive sunglasses. The discussion prodded me over a little further to the distance-only side, and I fell off the fence that direction when I spent more time looking for frames and lenses. In the high index lenses I was most interested in (1.67, which are what my current progressives and computer glasses are, I think... they might even be 1.7?) more often than not I could not even get a sunglass tint in my prescription. Or if I could, the price was so high that I might as well have been shopping at my local optician's. Seriously. I ended up with a $50 Ltede frame (I'm a diva, what can I say?) - on sale this week at CoastalContacts. On this site my prescription could only be filled with a tint in 1.61 lenses, so I'm a little apprehensive about the thickness of the lenses, particularly as I selected a rectangular shape as opposed to my hard-lesson-learned-small-and-round-frame-works-best formula. However, they are sunglasses, and with any luck the wide temples will cover most of the lens at the edges. Fingers crossed. I also found a promo code for $14.00 off and free shipping - So... frames +$49.95, 1.61 lenses +$29.95, tinting +$24.95, handling + $7.29 promo coupon -$14.00 = a grand total of $98.14. If they fit the diva profile, I'm golden!
