Don't get me wrong, if you're willing to spend the money and can take better care of your sunglasses than I, I agree with SkeeterJim about the Maui Jims. They work well, are supremely comfortable and are unbreakable, except for the lenses. I keep my scratched pair in my car and my wife loves to use them during long drives on sunny days. I'm just a little finicky about my vision. I had LASIK a couple of years ago because I got tired of always working to keep my eyeglasses perfectly clean.

I'm using SPF 50 sunscreen in a stick to outline the areas around my fisherman's reverse raccoon-eye sunglasses tan. My kids tell me that it's working. But the severity of the tan I can get (I'm half filipino, so I can get really, really dark) has scared me off from wearing my sunglasses all day long.

Go online and read about how Oakley creates their lenses. The polarization is much more balanced than most of the glasses I've had. I have Oakleys, Maui Jims and Costa's that I've accumulated over the years and the Oakleys polarization is better balanced across the entire visual field. They have a ton of styles now in both plastic and wire rimmed.

I noticed the variation in the polarization of my sunglasses. I didn't realize there's a difference across brands. I'll take a look at the Oakleys.

Hey, does anyone make polarized contact lenses? Oops! Um, please wait for my patent application to go through before responding.
