What other types of glass are there that are used for making lenses?

Hi Everyone,

I am happy to announce that our Serengeti subreddit discount for 30% off is now live on the Canadian website! Same details as before.

We are still working on getting it for the EU, and will update when I hear anything on that.

On the restock (in the US and Canada), there should be more in the coming weeks, but I don't know the timing or what models.

Thanks again to this great sub. We have a lot of cool things planned this year with Serengeti and other brands coming soon.

Hi, I just purchased my first pair of prescription sunglasses and was hoping someone could help me. I bought Ray Bans and when I look at my order description it says:
Lens: Clear
single vision
grey gradient polarized
Premium
Thin

What does clear refer to in that context? It just caught me off guard, makes me feel like I got two sets of lenses for one frame. One prescription and one polarized sunglass. Hope someone knows more about this than me and could help me out. Thanks

So I'm planning to buy my first "premium" sunnies (I had some vintage rayban aviators passed down to me, but I don't feel like they suit my face so I'm not counting them), and I'm kind of getting stuck on the lenses.

I found the Maui Jim Kawika which I really like, but it only comes with the MauiPure lenses - which as far as reddit seems to be telling me are plastic and will scratch within 0.5 seconds of wearing them. Is this really the case? Is it worth getting a different frame in order to just get the SuperThin glass?

And beyond that, does the lens colour affect anything outside of visuals? I'm pretty torn on HCL Bronze and Hawaii Lava - I like that they are nicely saturated - especially since I live in the UK and so it can get kinda dreary, but with sensitive eyes like mine I still should be wearing sunnies.

And then there's the Serengeti lenses - I found the Ryan, but I'm so confused about the lenses. They either come with "Mineral Polarized 555nm Cat 3 to 3" or "Mineral Polarized Smoke Cat 2 to 3"...wtf does that mean? What cats?!

For what it's worth, these are going to just be everyday sunnies, I don't have the cash to be having multiples for every conceivable occasion unfortunately.

Sorry for the rambling, just worried about dropping ~£300 on a pair of sunnies and picking something that ends up in the bin after a few months.

Ta in advance!

This must be their move to counter Meta with Ray Ban and Oakley, making a bet on the future of eyewear.

Personally I think there’s a limit to how much tech anyone would want at one time and this is mostly redundant with smartphones, but who knows. What do you think of this?

Hey all, I work on a golf course and I’m looking for a pair of polarized sunglasses. The best pair I’ve ever had were Costas and they were fantastic. However the price is way more than I’m looking to spend and they broke (incident unrelated to work). What do you recommended in the $50-150 range?

Ideally I’d like to spend on the lower end as I’m a solid 6.7/10 at caring for work glasses
