I dont walk out of the house to do anything during daylight without shades. I sport Oakleys but have 2 or 3 cheap pairs scattered between the house and the office. I hate not being behind a pair of shades, sun gives me a headache.

I have to wear sunglasses, bright light gives me massive headaches.

I have a set of big pimpin Versace sunglasses with custom tinted prescription lenses for golfing / driving etc..



Frames were $395 custom lenses $299. Big bux for sunglasses but totally worth it. I couldn't live without them now. Besides I look like the god father with them

My Oakleys fit fine...I wear the wire ones...not the big clunky plastic kind.

Yes, mine fit, but my wife's...no way. I have about 5 pairs of sunglasses and all of them fit, but 1 pair has to be put in upside down, it doesn't seem to fit otherwise.

I don't wear sunglasses much. However, I do keep a pair in the "holder" near the rear-view mirror. On my morning commute, there is a stretch where I head directly East and am facing the Sun for a good period of time. I break my sunglasses out just for this reason. So I don't rear end anyone or crash into a ditch. Otherwise, I prefer not to wear sunglasses.

I wouldn't say untrue at all. I've tried on cheap glasses before and you can tell from both the lenses and the frames that they were just cheap. They would weigh a ton and fit very uncomfortably. You shouldn't even notice that the glass is there but you do with cheap glasses. I honestly believe that you get what you pay for. Prada's, D&G, all of the "designer" glasses are just made with quality.

those of you that don't like wearing sunglasses haven't found the right pair. They should be wrap around, light and feel like you're not even wearing them. Sight is an important sense, I plan on keeping mine sharp for as long as possible.

Do you wear those massive ski mask glasses with the "insert trendy logo here" billboard on the side?
