Anyone in the UK? Help a bloke out?

[hxd]

I'm looking for a specific style of sunglasses. From all of my research, it looks like they're only available in the UK market.

I'm looking for someone across the pond who might be willing to help me look into it.

Please drop me a PM. Thanks!

I try to avoid using sunglasses most of the time; I don't want to get too dependent on them. On the other hand, if I have to keep my eyes wide open all day in the blazing sun, well thank you whoever invented sunglasses. I look for sunglasses that provide 100% UVA and UVB protection, are adequately scratch-resistant, are not shatter-hazardous, and are optically non-distortive. I especially like the ones that use the coatings NASA uses on space helmets, like Revo (kind of expensive). I also like Ray-Ban, especially their Roadmaster model. It's gradient tinted, and wraps a little to the peripheral. I use el cheapo made in China too. Keeps me from gettin' upset when I lose 'em.

Monty,
I would prefer not to use sunglasses as well. However, I recently spent $4500 and had LASIK performed. At this point, I regard sunglasses as protecting my investment.

My sunglasses for regular wear are Ray-Ban Predators. I just purchased a pair of Oakley Whiskers for when I'm engaged in physical activity and absolutely fell in love with them. I want to purchase another pair, but the frame color/lens color combination I want is apparently only available in the UK.

Oakley's are great. I agree that sunglasses during your post-LASIK convalescence are a must. I hope all goes well with that.

Monty,
It's been three months now, and I'm still as excited about my vision as I was at day one. I'm 20/15 in one eye and just a little better than 20/20 in the other, with a combined snellen of 20/15. My visual acuity is MUCH better as well.

stormz,
I have an account there. They don't have the specific style that I'm looking for. Thanks though!

That's good news, hxd. Hope you find your favorite shades.
