How about spending 250.00 dollars for them on qvc.yes many people will purchase them from the eye specialist not here.I am sure they probably will sell also.

Haven't seen these yet here.

Anyone who wears prescripton glasses can get lenses that will darken when they go out-of-doors.   No need to buy sunglasses.  

I've been wearing that type of lens for more than 30 years.

Not always. When I wore glasses (since had cataract surgery and don’t need them anymore) I couldn’t wear the ones that darken in the sun. They were not available in my high prescription and were very heavy because they had to be made in glass. Maybe they can now make them in plastic. I don’t know.  After I had my surgery I bought for the first time ever I bought my first pair of cool sunglasses and they were $300. I love them.

I wore the transcient glasses for years, not heavy at all.

They'll sell.  Some people pay a heck of a lot more than that for non-prescription sun glasses.  I'm not in that group!  But I do know people who pay $400,  $500 for sun glasses.

Guilty of spending ALOT on my one pair of sunglasses.

But, my Maui Jims have lasted 10 years, so I got my money's worth.

The issue with transitions is that they don’t get dark enough in the car.

Transition glasses don't work well in cars ... so I have perscription sunglasses for cars. I also spend a lot of time on water or near water and have found that actual sunglasses protect my eyes better than my transition lenses.

I'm not sure I would want to spend big $ on sunglasses w/o trying them on. I have a wider head and I hate when my glasses are tight.

COSTCO has great options on sunglasses that are stylish w/o breaking the bank.

@ALRATIBANo, that's not true.  At one time, I did have transition lens, but now every opthalmologist and every optician I work with says transitions don't darken enough for my eyes and they don't clear enough so that I'm comfortable to read except in super bright lighting.

I hadn't tried new transitions for several scripts, but just consulted once again just last fall because I know the science has changed somewhat.  Still not recommended for my vision.  

I was hoping for a different answe!
