Does anyone know where I can get a pair of sunglasses that fit over my regular glasses that don't look like I just had eye surgery??? I don't like the transition lenses because they don't get dark enough for my eyes. I have pale blue eyes that are very sensitive to the sun. My new glasses cost over $500. and I really can't afford another pair with the tint.
I wish Joan Rivers would come out with a nice stylish pair with some bling. I hate when you can see my regular glasses under the fit overs. Any suggestions? TIA

The best ones I have found (and I have been through a lot over the years) are ones that I bought at QVC several years ago; however, I don't find this particular style there anymore. I looked at my sunglasses for you and found their website: ***.solitairesunwear.***. Click on the box that says "Solar Shield Sunglasses". Then, find the style "Solar Shield Panorama". They are polarized and wrap around somewhat so that they look a little more stylish & you have a wider range view. I don't know the exact color of mine but are sort of a burgundy color. The price is $24.95. Hope this helps!

I bought mine in Walmart's optical department for $24 and I LOVE them! They are by Polar Optics. They are GREAT quality and come in sizes. I need a true Small and it was impossible to find anywhere else. They are fashionable, look great and have a spring hinge construction so they are comfortable. Check them out!

I believe I got the same thing at Sam's Club, back near the pharmacy. I, too, needed a small frame. Not only do they come in small sizes, they are available in black and brown. I have since invested in a pair of prescription sunglasses, but will be using these for outdoor sports activities and gardening. They are comfortable and don't fall forward like the gigantic FitOvers sold here.

I have Transitions but I use the Polar Optics in the car since Transitions don't darken through the glass.

Yes these are the best "Solar Shield Panorama". I got them probably five years ago at QVC. They came in a few colors and I got the wine, and brown. They were about $35.99. Those are the best ever and I still have them. QVC now has a Haven brand which I bought a midnight blue color. They are $29.99. The color is pretty but they fit a little more snug around the temples and I can't keep them on for long. The Solar Shield Panorama is the best in my opinion for my light green eyes which are sensitive to the sun and I also find my transition lenses, which were very expensive, get dark outside, but when driving in the car they don't stay dark enough. Hope this helps.

I bought bigger frame very stylish sunglasses by Robert Verdi over at hsn (sold out now I believe). The arms aren't skinny skinny - and the sunglasses completely mask my prescription glasses. They do the trick without being the fitover brand!
