Clip on sunglasses

[laserblazer]

I know they are sad but I forgot mine and my prescription sunglasses, so I need something for driving. Has anyone seen them in cvo?

I know they're sad but it's a shame. I used to have a pair which could flip up. When driving from bright sunlight into shade a quick flip gave you vision. With my reactorlight glasses I have to take them off. Luckily I have reached that age where I am going long sighted as well as short sighted so I can drive legally without specs.

Oh, by the way, I don't know where you can get them in CVO!

Stating the almost obvious but I would try an opticians and ignore sun glass shops.

I bought some clip-ons a few years ago from an optician in the centre of Portimao. He was very helpful and even trimmed them down to fit my specs. Sorry but I can't remember the name of the optician. I would imagine any optician would do the same though. Hope you manage to get some.

Managed to get a nice pair in the Opticians on Portimao Retail Park, they had a great selection. I didn't realise how stressed the sun was making me until I put them on.

Ask roy 4 eyes for help

Thanks BSJ.

Be careful buying replacements from the market - the sun is very strong here with a high U/V element.

I would recommend going to the opticians even though they may cost a little more and look for the CE stamp (normally on one of the sides) to ensure they conform with minimum standards for protection.
