I bought my last 2 pairs of Ray Bans from The Sunglasses Hut at Heathrow Airport - I lost the first pair, then found them wedged under the drivers seat of my BMW, when I was cleaning it out before selling it

Where's a good place to buy sunglasses? I'm looking for functional glasses that offer good protection against snow glare, I don't want to pay over the odds for a pair of plastic Oakleys, unless of course, they look really cool. Where can you a) try them on and b) not get ripped off by high-street tax? |

You see, no one knows, there's a gap in the market here. |

How about a good online optician. They do sunglasses and you can see what you look like in them before you buy. http://www.specsonthenet.com/prescripti ... lasses.jsp One link to get you started in your search. |

I like Ray Bans, but they're expensive for what they are, think I may have to go to Manchester and find a pair I like then go on the internet and look for the cheapest price, it works for eveything else, plus it annoys the salesmen  OOOOhh cheers CC. |

I lose or break sunglasses all too frequently, so I don't like to splash out on fancypants designer ones. If they're for skiing and/or mountaineering (as mine mostly are) I recommend buying them from your destination. I find that 30-50 europoundingtons will get you a good pair of polarised, UV protective glasses. |

I got some aluminium "Calvin Klein" sunglasses from TK Max. They seem to work though, mostly used for driving when the sun is annoying. |

I've got some polarising sunglasses from Specsavers. Although they cost £185 so maybe a bit much. Oh, and they're prescription glasses. |

I thought some of these prices looked quite good. I suppose it depends how much you wanted to spend though. http://www.sightdirect.co.uk/oakley-c-1 ... 4wodBG8J3A |

I like Oakley’s Half Shell XL ‘s Currently on my 3rd pair 1st I got in the UK and then lost in Cape Town - Was a bit drunk so not sure if left them in a bar or had them lifted from my bag Replaced them in Cape Town ( about 30% cheaper than the UK price) and even claimed the tax back. Lost these in the UK when moving house – no ide what happened to them Replaced them by buying on line and saved about 20% off high street prices Best is to go into SunGlass hut etc – try loads on until you find one you like and then look online to buy them to save the dosh |

Rudy Project make some nice ones, pair I've got have interchangeable lenses, so you can use different ones, depending on what you're doing and what the weather's like. |

I got prescription sunglasses from Specsavers "for free" last time. I made the mistake of choosing a pair so dark they make a glorious sunny day feel like winter, and the glare around the edge is really annoying even if you want it to be that dark. My next pair will be wrap-around and adjustable. Or maybe I'll just inject squid ink into my cornea; that would be cool. |
