Cost me something like $60. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-prescription-sunglasses#post-2139242 Thu, 09 Apr 2015 23:07:39 +0000 HLK208 2139242@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yin: that's where my sister gets hers!

Every so often I will substitute getting sunglasses instead of regular ones with my insurance benefits. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-prescription-sunglasses#post-2139186 Thu, 09 Apr 2015 21:47:48 +0000 matador84 2139186@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes I have Ray ban aviators. Can't get plastic Riks bc my rx is too strong and I have bifocals. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-prescription-sunglasses#post-2139145 Thu, 09 Apr 2015 21:01:39 +0000 Umbreon 2139145@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yes, and it was so expensive. I got a two for one deal, so I thought I would get the prescription sunglasses along with my regular glasses. I ended up having to pay for the more expensive one, which was the sunglasses. I think it came to over $600. Luckily insurance paid for all but a $100 or so. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-prescription-sunglasses#post-2139144 Thu, 09 Apr 2015 20:59:10 +0000 avivoca 2139144@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do! They were pretty expensive, but I never wear contacts. My insurance covers one new pair if glasses per year up to a certain amount, so I had to pay the difference, but it was worth it. I love them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-prescription-sunglasses#post-2139141 Thu, 09 Apr 2015 20:57:32 +0000 Mae 2139141@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have some, we used HSA money to pay for them. I don't really like them. I find it is really annoying to take off one pair of glasses and put on another. Especially if I"m going in/out of stores. I mostly end up just not wearing sunglasses, which is annoying. Or if I"m going to be in/out a lot I'll wear contacts and regular sunglasses. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-prescription-sunglasses#post-2139120 Thu, 09 Apr 2015 20:41:09 +0000 mrsbubbletea 2139120@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got some online at lookmatic! One of the best purchases I've made, super affordable and one of my longest lasting pairs! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-prescription-sunglasses#post-2139109 Thu, 09 Apr 2015 20:36:05 +0000 Foodnerd81 2139109@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had lasik but I still need a very light prescription for driving, so one year I ised my allowance for new regular glasses and the next I got RX sunglasses. Makes driving so much easier and the cost is the same as regular glasses. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-prescription-sunglasses#post-2139098 Thu, 09 Apr 2015 20:31:00 +0000 PurplePumps 2139098@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup. We get $140 toward frames and plastic lens is fully covered. Adding polarization was $125 so the last 2 times I just got free after insurance sunglasses cause I was too cheap to pay anything. This year, I finally decided to put some money in a FSA and get a nice pair I actually liked. So I got the polarization and added a "flash" (light mirror) for another $125. Damn thing cost $325 total, but I justified it by saying it was pretax money so effectively $250. It $640 before the insurance discounts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-prescription-sunglasses#post-2139060 Thu, 09 Apr 2015 20:04:44 +0000 Cole 2139060@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In have a pair I bought when we put way too much money into our flex account a few years ago. I adore them. I don't have a strong prescription so I didn't like wearing contacts but frequently I wanted sunglasses while driving. I can't stress enough how much I love them, expensive as they were I would replace them again in a heart beat (which is saying something because I am frugal to a fault!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-prescription-sunglasses#post-2139051 Thu, 09 Apr 2015 19:59:56 +0000 Truth Bombs 2139051@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup. I get one pair of glasses per year so one year I used the money for sunglasses. Got some Tory Burch aviators that I love </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-prescription-sunglasses#post-2139037 Thu, 09 Apr 2015 19:54:09 +0000 birdofafeather 2139037@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i got some from costco. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-prescription-sunglasses#post-2139024 Thu, 09 Apr 2015 19:45:52 +0000 creativemomma15 2139024@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have 1 pair and the prescription isn't quite right.... but I just lost them this week! :crying: I really want to find them to avoid getting another pair. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-prescription-sunglasses#post-2139010 Thu, 09 Apr 2015 19:42:52 +0000 coopsmama 2139010@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have any, but would like some. I'm with you though - expense! And DH's work cut our eye insurance last year so it's even more expensive now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-prescription-sunglasses#post-2138958 Thu, 09 Apr 2015 19:21:05 +0000 yin 2138958@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would like to get a pair and am considering Warby Parker. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-prescription-sunglasses#post-2138940 Thu, 09 Apr 2015 19:10:00 +0000 HLK208 2138940@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Beth24: same! I'd have to wait a year so insurance could cover them (already bought a pair of glasses this years so sunglasses weren't covered) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-prescription-sunglasses#post-2138904 Thu, 09 Apr 2015 18:39:58 +0000 Beth24 2138904@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wanted them for years and finally splurged on some this year. I love them! It's made driving on sunny days so much better. I just have a lot of anxiety that I'll lose them because I definitely wouldn't be able to afford a new pair! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-prescription-sunglasses#post-2138900 Thu, 09 Apr 2015 18:39:03 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2138900@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yes, I have two pairs. I just lost my second pair somewhere in the house I hope. They were crazy expensive Marc Jacobs and less than two months old. Ugh! I'm so happy my old pair, Ralph Lauren tortoise shell are a) still stylish and b) the script is similar enough to work well.</p> <p>ETA: similar to yoursilverlining the second pair, new shades, were 30% off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-prescription-sunglasses#post-2138855 Thu, 09 Apr 2015 17:58:47 +0000 mrsjyw 2138855@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH made me get transitions lenses in my regular glasses so they double as my prescription sunglasses :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-prescription-sunglasses#post-2138854 Thu, 09 Apr 2015 17:58:41 +0000 yoursilverlining 2138854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do - I have a STRONG eye rx! So, I really need them, since I don't wear contacts often. My insurance covers 1 pair of glasses per year, makes no difference if its regular glasses or sunglasses. Some shops also offer discounts for multiple pairs ordered - for instance the shop I got my glasses at gave me 50% off the total cost of sunglasses when I purchased them at the same time as my new glasses. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-prescription-sunglasses#post-2138847 Thu, 09 Apr 2015 17:56:44 +0000 jhd 2138847@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have any but would like to have a pair! I was thinking of pricing a pair on Zenni Optical. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-prescription-sunglasses#post-2138592 Thu, 09 Apr 2015 15:13:50 +0000 HLK208 2138592@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I cannot believe they are so expensive!! I could get contacts and wear non-prescription Prada sunglasses for less than basic prescription sunglasses :shocked: . My insurance won't cover them.</p> <p>Do you have them? Were they expensive? </p>
