recommendations for driving shades/glasses?

I prefer

Ray ban, giorgio Armani for shades.

Nike, Calvin Klein, silhouettes for glasses

Where would I be able to get a good selection of Nike frames locally? Going semi rimless from next month.

[trinibajan34]

any one in here uses drive wear lenses? how good is it and do you use it at night

[hustla_ambition101]

Focus Vision on Coffee street in san fernando has some nice Nike frames. I got a black titanium for $1700 last year. The location might not be the most impressive bu they have some nice frames.

Strongly reccommed the Oakley "oil rig"(approx US 100). Had a pair of those, they were excellent till i sat on them, now i have a Timberland (US40) really good aswell especially for driving.
Still want to get a pair of Ray Ban in d the future.

also for those who wear contacts how did it feel having them the first time, got my trail pair of contacts today, put them in good ,strange not having on glasses ,i got a slight headache and i my nose started to sniffle whole afternoon. got them from value optical.

@kevin thanks bud, ended up picking up my new pair just last week, I found a nike frame i liked in Ferreira's @ price plaza but they were a bit too narrow for my big head Price was same $1700 as well


My new frames are the Navy Blue to the one above, just full frame and not semi-rimless.

They fit well, and anti-glare coating is definitely worth it!

First time I wore mine it felt strange too, kept putting my hand to adjust frame only to realize no glasses on. No headaches tho.

Vramps is the ar coating really worth it, after getting all the old talk of the do's and don'ts I decided not to waste my moÑey on it

I saw this available at VO.

Also I definitely recommend getting transitions if you are outdoors or getting glare a lot. I miss it

For me I get headaches with my contacts only because they are non-astigmatism pairs. I think if I get the proper testing ill be ok. It's weird at first but seeing in all angles is awesome. Just stick to the schedule and do the proper cleaning and you should be good to go. If its monthlies don't put it down for 3 months and go back to it (assuming you change the solution every month since this also lasts a maximum of 1 month)

But m when you're eyes get used to transition, it's hard not using it after

If u see me walk through mid day sun I look like an old Chinese dude....no offense to any old Chinese dudes in here

[ruffrider27]

find it hard to get frames for ppl with big head's or fat faces,no serious

[hustla_ambition101]

serious??? I had hell trying to find a frame due to my narrow face, most frames too wide and look awkward

[Trini Hookah]

Look into converse frames

[trinibajan34]

well the headache was for a short while but my nose is still stuffy , when i took them out last night and put back on my glasses all stuffiness gone but my eyes were tired.

i also questioned this wrt the outcome of flaking on my last pair. I have them on my current pair but i wonder sometimes...

[S_2NR]

AR coating is definitely worth it if u watch TV, use computers and basically anything with a screen. Helps ALOT with glare.

Yup this is why I was advised to get them, but I have to TRY my best not to get them scratched.

[S_2NR]

Once u don't dry wipe them they won't get scratched. Wash them everyday too with dishwashing liquid and water

[sliderz1]

only if it was that easy

[S_2NR]

I have the same lenses 3 years now. No scratches. AR coating + transitions in a rimless frame

This is a no no according to some, must use the ar spray (ploy to buy their spray)

The girl also told me that the coating is somewhat vulnerable to heat which was another reason I didn't take them, I work in dust and heat and is not all the time I could walk with spray and a cloth in my pocket

[S_2NR]

Lol @ "vulnerable to heat". This is trinidad, we live in a tropical climate.. Oh please.

[r3iXmann]

Lol @ "vulnerable to heat". This is trinidad, we live in a tropical climate.. Oh please.

that's true...coworker had to get new ones for hers because the coating came off..she cooks a lot and the opt. said the heat from the kitchen damaged the coating

i didnt take it because i was done up $4k ..might probably get another pair next yr with AR on it

[Xplode]

then the nose pads ,the ones to take out with screws hate them if you sweat plenty they get a green color,always like the frames with the ones that are molded into the plastic .

I wasn't going to even bother to reply to his nonsense
