Prescription sunglasses

[Earl Haury]

I certainly second Andre's endorsement of the Serengeti's and, particularly Vision Gallery and Dr. Na. I have a particular sensitivity to certain aspects of my prescription. When I have a prescription "upgrade," Dr. Na fits my Serengeti frames with "test lenses" for a week or so of trial before committing the new prescription to the Serengeti lenses. She is very interested in meeting my requirements for flying models and has taken the time to try and understand what we do, even going to the parking lot on a cold day to look at pattern planes. All this at prices very near the online sources.

  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,
