My lens are screwed, I think it's because of sunscreen

So I saw a small spot like a dirt and decided to clean it with my t shirt, only to it spread all across the lens. It's like it's peeled. I've been using it only a year and half. I always put sunscreen but I'm not sure how to why it even happend.. so sad, my favorites.

Smith ChromaPop Glass Rose Blue Mirror Lens Review

Here is my review on the Smith ChromaPop Glass Rose Blue Mirror Lens. The short of it is that it is one of the best lenses out there, period. It does everything perfectly and is a pleasure to wear, year round. The only thing to consider is the aesthetics and the limited frame choices, but this is a lens that sells itself.

I would really appreciate any feedback about the facts in the review, anything I may have gotten wrong, any details or information I may have missed etc. Let me know if you like the layout and structure as well. Please help me improve. Any and all feedback is most welcome.

Looking for some fairly cheap mens sunglasses for a wider head. I only wear them when driving so they don't have to be super expensive or high quality. Preferably all black

Glasses on your pocket

What do you all think about putting sunglasses in your pocket this way?

I recently got myself one and I think it's cool and not done often around me. it's probably for a reason.

The Serengeti discount is now available in Canada

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.

Wife’s favorite pair broke, looking for a similar style or match to purchase

Like the title says. We got these at a sunglasses store in a mall probably 4 years ago. Looked on the Smith brand website and couldn’t find anything. Any help on finding an exact match or similar would be greatly appreciated!

Prescription Sunglasses

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

Are glass lenses really worth getting over the alternatives?

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!

Sunglasses for sun protection while driving

I am prone to getting brown spots on my face from the sun, it's more pronounced on my left side from driving. I did tint my car windows but looking for any sunglass recommendations that will cover the cheek area. This is the closest thing I could find (coolibar grandview sunglasses) but hoping for something with a more discreet logo and a bit cheaper than $90.

I have taken their words and removed the chain.

I still feel like something's missing

Google, Samsung, Warby Parker, and Gentle Monster getting into smart eyewear

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?

Sunglasses for work

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

What glue should I try next?

I’ve tried a superglue, and a CA glue and nothing seems to hold. I’m not rough on the sunglasses. What else should I try. Thanks for the input.

Ray-Ban Wayfarer (RB2140)

Dear friends,

I'm thinking of buying a pair of Ray-Ban RB2140 (WAYFARER) sunglasses, and I'm unsure which lenses to choose.

I want the darkest lenses possible (so my eyes aren't visible), and from what I've seen, the darkest ones are "Classic Dark Grey" and "Classic G-15 Green".

However, I don't know which one is darker. If both are the same shade, I think I'll go for the grey.

Could you help me?
