I have an eye doctor appointment next Wednesday and have been thinking about getting transition lenses so I don't always need to carry two pairs of glasses around.  If I get transitions, I'll probably leave my old prescription sunglasses on the boat.

My dad had transition lenses in the 80s and they always seemed to 'turn on' at weird times, and he found them annoying and eventually ditched them.  I wonder if they've been improved since then?

You'll get freaked out and fall over if you look down at the ground suddenly.

I dunno if I am a candidate.  My vision = horrendously poor.  Uncorrected it's like 20/800 with severe astigmatism (85/92).

OTOH a friend of mine back in Mass. had it done like 5 years ago and his vision was rendered instantly perfect... he said his vision was about as bad as mine (but I don't think he's right).

Just get these:

In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

Go for it.

I had them before I got contacts. I took a little bit of time to get used to but if you wear sunglasses they rock.

Nice, it took six responses before I got a serious one. -_-
