Dani, my new bifocal sunglasses are very dark, but much as I love my Transitions lenses, they're not dark enough.Cara Marsihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05384839120633419382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5742415355016995707.post-39733980284556838092014-07-27T09:48:32.994-04:002014-07-27T09:48:32.994-04:00I'm ultra light sensitive and now that I need ...I'm ultra light sensitive and now that I need script sunglasses they're never dark enough.

I didn't know glasses went back that far. <br /><br />Don't forget Ben Franklin famously wore glasses in 1776 and earlier. <br /><br />I used to have a prescription pair of sunglasses, but lost them. I wear clip on shades on my bi-focals, but they make them heavy. I'll have to get a new pair this year.<br /><br />Janice~Janice Seagraveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02576031935823587485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5742415355016995707.post-57538056841368083282014-07-25T10:22:26.254-04:002014-07-25T10:22:26.254-04:00Thanks for commenting, Carly!Thanks for commenting, Carly!Cara Marsihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05384839120633419382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5742415355016995707.post-34560067787092500132014-07-25T10:22:25.703-04:002014-07-25T10:22:25.703-04:00Thanks for commenting, Carly!Thanks for commenting, Carly!Cara Marsihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05384839120633419382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5742415355016995707.post-1096547119847038802014-07-24T21:14:01.449-04:002014-07-24T21:14:01.449-04:00I'm glad sunglasses are cool.

But the Transitions don't work in a car. Something about the glass used in the windshields. So I have to wear my bifocal sunglasses when I drive then switch to my Transitions when I get out.

I've joined the prescription sunglasses crowd recently too, so I'm glad I have more of a choice than wooden or carved ivory glasses with slits (although, I do think those were ingenious).

I loved my sunglasses until I got driving glasses. I need them and haven't been able to find a pair of glasses to love since then! I hate switching between the driving glasses and sunglasses. I look silly with two pair of glasses on my head. <br /><br />Loved your post!
