Here's the two I picked: http://www.zennioptical.com/cart/product.php?productid=1080&cat=0&page=1 http://www.zennioptical.com/cart/product.php?productid=686&cat=0&page=1
Here's my prescription: OD SPH-1.50 CYLsph OS SPH-1.75 CYL-0.25 AX007 Michael - Yes, I found the same at goggles4u, good search tool, but apparently a poor inventory. Eric, I also found these at EyeBuy: http://www.eyebuydirect.com/metal-glasses-regal-gun-p-2029.html http://www.eyebuydirect.com/metal-glasses-regal-gold-p-2028.html They have 150 mm temples, but if they are 2 for 1, that might be good. And, I also broke down and splurged on a nice pair of sunglasses. I've never had a good pair of prescription glasses before with polarized lenses, so I did some more digging and found these: http://www.eyeglasses123.com/41460/Gucci/GG-1579/buy.html I usually don't spend that kind of cash, but I have some money in my medical account that I wanted to use up. It still seems silly to drop that amount of money on them, but I had trouble finding the right size frame at the same place that sells polarized lenses. Most just sell tinted lenses, and for long distance driving, polarized is the way to go. It probably would have been cheaper to just get some frames, and then go somewhere locally to get polarized lenses made for them, but again, I'm really sick of dealing with the local big franchise stores and I'll do almost anything to not give them my business. I'm not even go into the stories about those places that I've heard from close friends and family who all worked there at one time. Thanks so much everyone for your advice, I'll post followups!
