Prescription sunglasses

[Andre Bouchard]

Jerry,

I support Bobs endorsement: Serengeti's are the best sunglasses for flying RC.  I have had several pairs now.  I recommend you deal with a live person as there have been quality control issues on both pairs I have purchased.  The main issue is in getting the tint right between the two lenses, although with my last pair the glasses were shipped twice with scratches.

If you are the Jerry Wilson I know from Houston, go to Vision Gallery on Mason Road and ask for Dr. Na.  Tell her Earl and Andre sent you and she will know exactly what you need.  She is very conscientious and provides excellent service.

Regards,

Andre' Bouchard

  Comes up every so often....here's a post by me from 2002

  <<As many on this list are aware, Serengeti "Drivers" Sienna non-gradient
  lenses are just about the ultimate 'flying' glasses for our game.  Corning
  glass, optically-perfect, photo-chromatic, contrast-sharpening color, and an
  EXCELLENT anti-reflective coating on the rear of the lenses.  You can spot
  users of these as around mid-summer, as they develop the 'raccoon face'
  because of the superior UV blocking characteristics of these great
  sunglasses!!
      Those who use these already know the benefits....those who haven't, will
  someday.... :-)

  Anyway - NOW - I need prescription versions, and I found a place at VERY
  competitive rates.  All they need is the optometrists' prescription, and a
  "pupillary distance" measurement, and they quote a 4 -5 week delivery.
      Am sending my order today, so I'll know pretty soon if they can do what
  they say...but...$ 243 for a single-vision prescription, delivered, is a
  DARN good price.  Best I've found in searching, anyway.  Email me for
  details, if interested.

    I've decided I need some of these.  Any recommendations of brand for use in our sport would be appreciated.

     

    Thanks,

    Jerry
