Thanks for your fast reply! Yeah I searched that in the forum too. But it seems that there are not many people mentioned the photochromic lenses.
The magnetic clip on is a very good idea! But are they easy to use (I haven't used this kind before)? Currently I have a pair of clip on (not magnetic) for my old glasses (thats the only one I could find at Walmart and were not that good) and a pair of fit-over sunglasses (an old bulky style but work pretty good). I got those because I couldn't afford the expensive glasses at the optometrist. Even with an insurance covered for $120, I still had to pay so much extra! Not to say that I was NOT looking for designer brand glasses :( . So I'm glad to find this forum. I would really like to try to buy a pair of glasses online. I just want to know more first. So I found that goggles4u has a pretty good selection and is pretty cheap. I just wonder if it is good to order tinted/ photochromic lenses from them. Any more suggestions are welcome. Thanks!
