I splurge on sunglasses, but not prescription. I will wear the same pair of Revo shades for years and years, until they break or the lenses are too scratched. They are kind of spendy for me, but they are worth it. If I need my prescription AND shades at the same time, I go with contacts + Revo shades. I'm afraid to get them prescription, because I don't want to screw up their excellent lenses

Lisa, point taken ;).
Janet, that's even better, a surprise find on a holiday!
Ann, Lucy, living in sunnier places than me, I can learn from your wisdom ;).
Grace, I only need my sunnies ALL THE TIME during summer, and every year the hassle bothers me too.
Cindy, not sure what you mean about not wanting to screw up the lenses. If your sunnies last you years you seem pretty careful with them.
