Where to get nice, reasonably priced sunglasses

    So, after 22 years wearing glasses and spending a fortune on prescription sunglasses I am finally getting contacts.

    I have never been able to buy a cheap pair of sunglasses before so I haven't a clue where to look. Looking to spend max €20 (even less if possible) as my sunglasses normally are eye wateringly expensive due to a strong prescription.

    My contacts have high protection from UVA and UVB rays already so don't need the sunglasses to have these. Any tips on where to look? Checked Penneys and wasn't too impressed.

    I buy prescription glasses and prescription sunglasses online from zenni optical. They are dirt cheap!

    For just standard cheap and cheerful sunglasses that are non prescription, Boots normally have a nice range.

    Never heard of Zenni but will check them out, thanks. I will still be wearing glasses as the contacts are more for weekends etc. I am -7 or so in one eye so think that is why they are so expensive and I got them polarized. The frames were relatively cheap compared to the lenses.

    Will check out boots for a cheap pair if sunglasses for the holidays.

    You might be better off getting a pair on your holidays, if it's a sunny place they generally have more extensive ranges of various priced sunglasses in the touristy shops.
