But I understand now there is something called half-polarized made for driving (polarized just enough without the rainbow effect). [color=blue][u]As for lenses mineral glass is the clearest, then CR-39 plastic, then Trivex and finally polycarbonate is the worse for acuity.[/u][/color] [/quote] Interesting. Although I have a pair of Steiner binoculars with special coatings (If you don't know, Steiner is good glass!) The "cheap" plastic sunglasses I just bought give me [i]ALMOST[/i] a similar super-clear view like Steiner glass. Not exactly as sharp...but close-enough for me. Is it possible that our manufacturing is simply so good now that plastic lenses can be made almost like glass? And for cheap? [b]Q)[/b] How the F' do they make a profit on 10 buck sunglasses? [b]A)[/b] :baby: [b][color=red]+ [/color][/b] :big_smile: Certainly not 30 years ago...or even 20. BUT....If you make expensive lenses..... {would you maybe want to keep that a secret? it's kinda' bad for business don't you think?} [/quote]
Original Message
I have a pair of Oakley Sunglasses, nice while they lasted.
Now they are nothing but $75 of junk.
The lenses lost their coating (maybe my fault - maybe not).
HOWEVER:
I just went to Lowe's Hardware.
$10...Polarized Sunglasses....NICE!
$30...Polarized, impact lens, wrap-around...Real NICE!
-AND- From Publix Grocery
$20...Iron Man Athlete Polarized....VERY NICE!
NOTE:
I live in Florida, I NEED Polarized lenses.
ONLY PURCHASE POLARIZED GLASSES!!!
THE SUN & UV RAYS ARE VERY BRIGHT AND POWERFUL.
I DON'T WEAR SUNSCREEN
-BUT-
I DO WEAR SUNGLASSES!
{Any comments or suggestions?}
