I bought a pair of Smith's from reioutlet.com and had my optician put
prescription lenses put in them. The sunglasses were about $40 and my
insurance paid for the lenses. If you decide to go this route, you will
have to do some leg work. Find a pair that you like and then call the
manufacturer and ask if that model will accept prescription lenses. I
suggest finding several that you like and then make the phone calls. Some
of the manufacturer's web sites will tell you also if they are RXable.
Use the web sites to get the phone numbers. Other sites to check are
overstock.com and campmore.com .


Wait!! So you bought smiths sunglass FRAMES for $40 and then bought the
poloarized prescription lens from a optimistrist?? Geez, I went to a
thrift shop and found a decent pair of sunglasses for $.50.

I may be cheap, but I'm not that cheap.
