Had I known more online places offer polarized lenses even when it is not listed as an option online, I would have ordered cheaper sunglasses. The only quality issues I had were with "B" where the plastic temple covers will slide about 1/8 inch, but not come off and the sunglasses which are warped a bit, when placed on a table they do not lie flat. I'm going to have my father who was an optician adjust. I've worn the glasses now for about a week or so, and visually they work great. I'm especially excited with the sunglasses because the last time I had polarized prescription glasses was about 10 years ago, and I lost those. I can definately tell the polarization works, driving home Sunday on a long road trip, it cut glare and I could see spots on factory tint windows that are not visible normally, I'm assuming it has some sort polarized coating on the car windows. If I had to do it over again, I would probably get cheaper sunglasses, and I would like sunglasses that totally wrap the eyes, but I haven't found any that wrap and contain prescription lenses yet. Thanks everyone for your help. Let me know if you have questions or comments about the fit or the shape of my head. I figured since I had the camera out, I would post what the 3 older glasses look like so you can compare sizing and see if my measurements from my first post make sense. ~jay --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Check us out at the oft-updated http://glassyeyes.blogspot.com!
