well it was partly his fault. when my last pair broke i wanted contacts as i knew something like this would happen, but he said i had to get some specs, so i told him to get insurance on them, but he said no, and now this has happened. so this time i'll try and get contacts.

i lost them because they were in my pocket (sun was out and they went dark so i couldnt see this girl properly :roll: ) and i think they dropped out when i went to take something out of my pocket. i must have realised about half hour later and i knew where i must have dropped them so i went to find them, but it was obvious that some **** had taken them or something as they werent there.

Oih Foggy! 8) There's nowt poncy about sun reactive glasses! As someone who suffers badly from squinting in bright sunlight, they are ace! The only problem is that as they work by reacting to the UV rays, inside a car, the windscreen cuts too much of this out, so they don't turn as dark. To combat this I've just got some prescription sunglasses for driving. Turns out I need to update my current lenses too, as my good eye has now got a bit worse! Doh! My right eye is pretty bad.

Sadly contact lenses aren't an option for me, a because of the dusty environment in which I work, so they'd only be any good for leisure time....... what leisure time!? Plus I cannot buy any off the shelf lenses, not at a half sensible price that will cope with the astigmatism. One opticians told me they might work, spent a lot of time and money to eventually be told they'd given up, they wouldn't work for me! Damn things depite being weighted wouldn't stay in the right place and kept spinning around to the wrong place due to the shape of the lense of my eyes.

I'm short sighted here too. Don't have the numbers, but I think I legally need them for driving :(

I've got a clear pair, and a pair of sunglasses. I only really use them for driving, and sometimes at uni to see presentations if it's too far away.

It's really annoying when I'm out and about that my friends always spot me before I spot them, and they think I'm ignoring them or something, when actually I'm just not sure it's them until I'm fairly close, unless they have something unique, like a jacket they always wear. :/ Although I do wear the sunglasses when I'm out a bit, but only cause they're the only good looking ones I have ;) I need a cheap pair of normal sun glasses now springs getting under way...

MJ, I had to get glasses because one of my female friend got rather upset as I did not recognize her from distance, well that was actually last nail as I certainly had trouble to see stuff.

Now I have used full day of these and must say that eyes are not as tired at all how used to be before and I can read my mails even at morning what I could not do before.

Haven't even thought about sun glasses part yet, maybe should get such that clip on to top of glasses, soon will need those too, surely expensive again.
