Sunglasses ?

[snagged in outlet 3]

I have a pair of 20 year old glass Maui Jim's along with a new pair about two years old.  They've been everywhere with no trouble and they are prescription.  The price will freak you out though.

Wasn't there a member on here that is an eye doc?  I think I remember I different thread where he chimed in.

My favs are a pair of scrip MJ Kahunas with Maui Brilliant lenses...yes, the price is truly breathtaking, but there are NO other glasses that compare IMO.

Yeah we've had the cheap vs. expensive shades discussion about as often as we've argued about gigging and 4-stroke outboards.  

I always hope that I'll be able to take the opposite end of a discussion someday and prove that I can indeed change my mind about something.  Actually I did (about something) but I can't remember what it was.  With any luck at all I'll remember which side of the fence to stand on when the topic comes up again.  😊

I feel for all you guys that have such high maintenance eyes.

I have looked at all those high dollar shades and they all have a couple stand out features to me (with the exception of Maui Jim's ) in that they have clown frames and giant conspicuous consumption logos. 

Cocoons came up on other forums as a good wear over or alone fishing shade. I haven't tried them. Guaranteed though that if I'm paying optical shop prices it will go to an optician not a designer. some (most?) opticians will reduce the price on two or more scripts and the frames won't look like billboard.

When a fish blows water in your face do you swipe them off on your shirt, or do you take 10 minutes to find your little bottle of cleaner and special sliver of cheesecloth?

Shirt. Scratch resistant lenses.
