Anyone like these sunglasses?
The Tifosi Ridge:


I need new prescription sunglasses and these frames are quite inexpensive, about $120 less than a nice pair of Bolle's I was looking at earlier today. And the Tifosi Rx lenses are made by Zeiss, which is a good thing.

Argh, I wish I had better vision. Laser surgery is freaking expensive and I'd rather buy a house than improve my eyes. What I want is a new set of eyeballs grown from my DNA (modified not to go nearsighted) and inserted in place of the old ones. Then I can wear whatever sunglasses I want without shelling out a few hundred $.

1. no side protection which imo is a problem. Hello crows feet.
other than that they're pretty nice.

2. Can't do wrap lenses with Rx
Unfortunately, that's almost always out of the question :-(

3. i have prescription sunglasses and the sides are wide, they aren't lenses it's just
side part of the frame. You can usually find frames that have wider sides, it just might take a bit.

4. I like them enough...
I'm kinda partial to thick black-framed Wayfarers (aka. Nerd Glasses) but that's just my style. It really only matters if you like them.

5. I think they're prety nice - if you like the way they look on you,
then go for it...
