QUOTE(x_tionman @ May 1 2009, 02:46 AM) polarized lens reduces glares cause by sunlight feel free to read more bout it. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « LOL! All sunglasses reduces glare, and the glare is usually from sunlight. Polarized sunglasses reduces EXTRA glare of sunlight from flat/smooth surface. Hence, it provides additional glare reduction. The article explains it well

Nah, Rm 80 with polarized feature is a pretty good deal, and it should be safe cause I think the lenses gives 100% UV protection!

Prices on the oakley website and the prices in Malaysian retail is totally different. Polarized lenses have recently shot up in price, so expect quite a fair bit for it.

I personally have a pair and it's very durable. Most polarized sunglasses are REALLY POLARIZED too..

Hi guys, i have the Adidas on Par golf sunglasses. While i was just moving my hair to the side just few seconds after wearing the sunglasses, my palm touch the lens and it broke in the middle. There was no force applied at all. Anyway, if i'm not mistaken there is a lifetime warranty for either the lens/frame. Anyone can clarify this? Thank you. Attached thumbnail(s)

I still have no idea how mine can just snap in the center.  Btw, anyone has any idea how much the lens alone will cost? This post has been edited by silverwave: May 10 2009, 10:51 PM

Extremely difficult to find I can assure you, 99.99% you wont be able to get it!  QUOTE(silverwave @ May 14 2009, 09:16 PM) It was fine with vigorous activities for nearly 3 years +. I thought of trying to put elephant glue first since it's quite minor. If that fails, new lens.  It's probably due to constant pressure effect on the middle over the 3 years.. since it's a once piece anyway, the force was probably directed to the middle. New one piece lenses are expensive, that's if you can even find someone willing to take them in for you. IMHO, start looking for a new pair!

Im lazy to go thr all 13 pages but i have some Qs for you guys:
1) Is there a way to differenciate a good and a bad sunglasses? No? We just put our $ on trust isnt it?
2) Is HOYA glasses good for those with eye sights issue? If not, share with us why not?
Added on May 15, 2009, 12:00 pmOh god. I've just realized that I was directed into this masculine zone...
Why isnt it shared with other hot babes out there?

If it's more than Rm200, i think it's better to get a new one. I bought the sunglasses for Rm400+ after discount. It was Rm990 at most outlets before discount at the time i bought but i managed to get it cheap through my friends mum who used to work in Adidas.

Bro, HOYA lenses are one of the leading and most famous brand for lenses in Malaysia! It's surprising you havent heard about them!
