Am going to get pretty much the same glass regardless other than options I choose myself? I've gotten sunnies before from online (vision direct - prices seemed excellent) and notice you can order prescription glasses off them too (would need my prescription though). Do I just ask an optometrist for the prescription, or is it something they are not wanting to release (for that reason)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get the transitional lenses either, I found them to be really annoying. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got a pretty good idea of what I don't like, but trying to work out what I do is pretty daunting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try them on in front of a mirror, go with what you think suits your face shape the best and gives you adequate field of view 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Andrew Gold Donating Members 2,036 Member For: 9y 7m 20d Gender: Male Location: Canberra ACT Posted 28/07/16 01:07 AM Share Posted 28/07/16 01:07 AM Yeah it sucks choosing frames! Especially when you are a big bald ugly bastard like me and at some point in the process realise that rolling yourself in sprinkles doesn't make you ice cream! Not sure on lens differences but choice/brands of frames seems to be main differentiator. I would buy sunglasses online, but everyday glasses I reckon you need to try them on. You (and medicare) pay for the eye test, so any place should just write it up and hand it over if you ask. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
