eyeglass frames: what is a ’shield’ and why can’t I put clear lenses in sunglasses frames?
Posted on May 9th, 2012 by admin
I could not find decent eyewear except a pair of sunglass frames, but the optometrist told me he couldn’t put clear lenses in the frames because they had a ’shield’ on them.
WTF is that?!
sounds bogus to me.
is my optometrist full of cr*p?
I wore eyeglasses for awhile, and I bought a Ray Ban sunglasses, which was larger enough to go OVER & cover my regular skinny gold frame.
A shied, are sunglasses LARGER than eyeglasses, that are plastic & cheap about $49. I took mine back!
They’re usually sold same store you bought your prescription glasses.
I have a Versace eyeglasses now with bling on the sides. When I was trying a new pair of sunglasses, it was rubbing off to close to my eyeglasses, and one bling got unglued. Now, I can’t wear sunglasses with that one, so I’m wearing my old frame so I can wear it with my Ray Ban.
There are other brands you can buy @ Nordstrom (ex.) but you need to try them on with your eyeglasses. It’s hard to find one that does that, you can also buy those FLIP that you flip the sunglasses and clip on to your orig. glasses, but they made me look like MY DAD. Forget that one!
