OMG! Variety of glasses options...
Thanks for all the advice folks!
I went shopping today. Talk about "where ignorance is bliss tis folly to be wise". That poor sales guy. Talk about options... Frames: - plastic - steel - titanium Lenses: - glass - plastic - polycarbonate Coatings: - Teflon - Anti-scratch - Anti-glare - UV coating So far I'm thinking titanium frames, polycarbonate lenses and ALL the coatings. I'm sure I'll change some things, but so far... yikes! Costco is different in Canada, I don't think they do glasses, so I checked at LenseCrafters. They seemed pretty good, and came recommended by a trusted source. Having all your input really helped though. Thanks gang!!! -- - Rog http://www.wpcusrgrp.org/~rogerbuchanan/index.html NOTE: to Reply to this, remove the phrase "NOSPAM" from my "Reply To:" address, or it will be returned. |

Coatings: - Teflon - Anti-scratch - Anti-glare - UV coating So far I'm thinking titanium frames, polycarbonate lenses and ALL the coatings. Heheheh, yeah, but, won't that make the lenses like an inch thick?!?!? ',;~}~ Cheers! Shaun aRe |

You should take the same approach I use for my older son. He's just going to lose them or scratch them, so I get him two pairs of the coolest looking cheap frames and polycarb lenses (don't want glass shattering in his eyes). -- o-o-o-o Ride-A-Lot o-o-o-o www.schnauzers.ws |

Then I got another $145 off because of my vision care program through Blue Cross. So in reality it only worked out to be $253.30 (in Canadian dollars). All in all I feel I got a good deal. I'll get them in a couple of weeks, as the lenses have to be special ordered out of Toronto...sigh Thanks again for all your help everyone! It sure came in handy. -- - Rog http://www.wpcusrgrp.org/~rogerbuchanan/index.html NOTE: to Reply to this, remove the phrase "NOSPAM" from my "Reply To:" address, or it will be returned. |

Then, of course, there's the soon-to-come "Lou's Views", glasses for
shortsighted people that flip up like ballplayer's sunglasses. They were envisioned (sorry) by Lou Reed in the movie "Blue In the Face". An Italian manufacturer, Tramontano, is going to be producing them in the near future. It's just another option, Rog. /s |

Can't go that way. Any pair that don't fog up for me.
Made up a pair with lens that are from another pair. Near nose the lens let air in so no fog. |
