Hi goons,

I need sunglasses because my cheapie $20 target ones are giving me headaches. I have some 2013 $230 polarized Ray Bans but multiple credible sources have told me I look like a doofus in them. I'd prefer to not spend too much money on glasses this time around in case I break them/I lose them/they're stolen. Thing is, the only brand i know is Ray Ban and Oakley and the former probably has a huge luxury tax. I feel like most brick and mortar stores (like sunglass hut) are going to have bigger markups, and Amazon is probably flooded with Chinese counterfeits/false advertising. Do ya'll know of any places (store or online) where I can get polarized and UV 400 glasses without spending over $100?

Go to the gym and be like "hey i left my sunglasses here" and they'll say "can you describe them" and you can say "they're ray bans with dark lenses" and they'll either say "sorry" or "these?" and you can be like yeah that's them.

Don't buy oakleys. I assume everyone in oakleys is a pig or a pig liker.

unless they are these

those are cool.

buy a can of dark glossy spraypaint at the hardware store and each morning spray a thin layer onto your eye. it should last through most of the daylight hours and will naturally begin to fade as the sun sets.

this costs pennies per day and you don't have to carry extra stuff with you all day long. it's a one-and-done in the morning.

Just spend the money you cheap gently caress. My left eye has gotten cloudy within the last month and now I’m looking at cataract surgery and I’m not even 50 yet.

(I can’t say it’s because of cheap sunglasses, but why take the chance?)

Just go on Rayban’s or Sunglass Hut website because they definitely will have some polarized glasses for under a hundred. There’s promo codes that are easy to find as well.

I have a $90 pair of sunglasses that I use every day because I work mostly outside in a sunless place. They do me good.

I also spend a lot of money on sunscreen.

This is your problem. This applies to not just sunglasses but your entire life.
