i don't know how "riv" it is, but I've taken an old (1950's) glasses frame and put transitional lenses in them. I use glass lenses which are out of fashion because of weight and not being shatter proof, but in my salvage/demolition line of work they are least likely to scratch. i love only keeping up with one pair of glasses, but I have found 2 very unfortunate aspects of glass transitionals; behind windshields, they don't change darker, and I spend the larger part of my day driving to and from job site, and the other is since they are out of fashion, little development has happened in comparison with plastic transitional, so they don't get crazy dark, and they are much slower to change.
"Suggestions?" Take you present frames, or even a new different pair and get your work insurance to cover most, if not all the costs, and get some of the new fancy transitional plastic lenses put in them. Easy as pie. You could even do the Aviators you've always wanted as such. joe On Wed, Oct 21, 2009 at 6:50 PM, kent <broken.cy...@gmail.com> wrote: > > As a wearer-of-glasses who is not fond of contacts, I have long stuck > with two awkward, but functional forms of keeping the sun out of my > eyes: clip-ons and those giant ugly things that go entirely over > prescription frames.
