After getting my Smith Factor D-Max sunglasses I noticed that details were not quite as sharp as they should be. Goddamn Smith! Those bastards and their lack of quality control! I will go to the ends of the earth to tank their stock price!
Oops, as you were; turns out I’m just getting old and need a tiny bit of prescription correction in the Mark I Eyeball. Unfortunately options are few and prices sky-high for this kind of thing. I decided to go with Sportsvisionbend (Bend, Oregon) because their lack of imagination in naming their company clearly indicates they are too lazy to cheat me.
I sent a current prescription by fax, and two weeks later I had a pair of brown polarized lenses. They’re in the standard Factor sizing, smaller than the Factor Max or even larger D-Max, and they fit with just a little bit of play in the Smith frames, which might bother someone jarring around a lot. The quality is fantastic, as it should be for $230 a pair, almost double the price of the sunglasses themselves. Nonpolarized lenses are cheaper, at $155, and the technicians at Sportsvisionbend can walk you through the pros and cons of various tints for various uses. Only downside besides price: no yellow tint.

I have seen many people in the same position as you, they think their sunglasses are rubbish but its actually their eyes becoming slightly worse than they used to be, its amazing what a difference a pair of prescription sunglasses make.
Thanks for the information. I’ve been searching for prescription sunglasses in Surrey, but haven’t been able to find any that are mys style. I didn’t know I could order custom ones with the prescription lenses i need.http://www.langleyoptometry.ca/en/eyewear_and_products.html
