You can get sunglasses, you'll just need to choose a frame that's not very curved. Curved frames work better with very low prescriptions. I'm not saying it's not possible, but it's going to be tricky.
For instance, the pair I tried to get from G4U was a curved frame (the pictures didn't appear to be, but it was in real life) and that didn't work AT ALL. (walls were curving towards me, etc). So I had to get a replacement pair. Then the replacement pair was screwy too, but not enough that I can't use them as a pair that I don't care if they get ruined (softball anyone?). I'm not ordering from them again. The pairs I got from zenni (non curved) are perfect. Among them I got a pair very similar to this: http://www.zennioptical.com/cart/product.php?productid=1320&cat=23&page=1 It's not curved, but the temples are wide and thick to block extra light that tried to peek in around the corners. -K On Apr 14, 6:43 pm, westfoot <[email protected]> wrote: > I just received a pair of -5.25 sunglasses from Goggles4u.
