Does anyone actually buy these things? IMHO anything over $5 spent on a pair of shades is too much (I used to get them a buck a throw at an unclaimed baggage store).

Guess I’m not “trendy”, thank God.

Yes, a lot of people make very nice livings selling $1,000 sunglasses.

I once paid $240 for a pair of Wayfarer sunglasses.

Of course, they had prescription lenses...

I think that you should buy the cheapest available that block UV and do not distort your vision. I've been told that your eyes are actually better-off (if you wear the sunglasses outdoors, and not inside an automobile, for example) by not wearing sunglasses altogether if you just buy el-cheapo plastic. (Auto windshields block UV).

Bausch & Lomb (Ray-Bans) are for optics-nerds.

Personally, I like my lenses to block UV and "polarize." The tint/shading is irrelevant to me.
