I used a pair of these stick-on lenses on a recent trip, and they were perfectly adequate. I wondered if spray and drips would remove the lenses. On that trip, the lenses stayed right in place. I sould mention that I didn't encounter extreme weather and didn't roll, so maybe in other situations the lenses could come loose. They're called "Optix". I found mine at a local CVS pharmacy - haven't seen them anywhere else in this area - and as far as I can tell, the company doesn't have a website. In my case, my right eye is considerably weaker than my left, so I had to buy two pairs of the Optix, resulting in a $40 pair of "prescription" sunglasses. That's still a lot less than the cheapest prescription glasses I could get here, but not much less than some others on the list have paid for optically corrected sunglasses in other countries. - Bill Hansen *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************
