And no, I will not consider contacts.
Nor will I consider laser surgery for at least another 15 years... I've heard horrible things about accelerated macular degeneration in some Lasik patients. :eek4:

I want something light that I can simply put on and get rockin... glasses have filled those requirements nicely for nearly twenty one years...I have little impetus to change. Certainly not over one pair of broken sunglasses.

I think I'm gonna buy a set of Bollé - replica style cycling sunglasses from Perfomance tomorrow. They have a set with a Rx insert....and they're much stronger than the flimsy wire frame that snapped on me today.
And for the record...they failed when I was clipping them on...
And six months out of warranty, no less. Grrr.
Damned metal fatigue.

:eek3: Wow. 20-10.
I probably won't be able to fix the clip-on attachment. It failed in the worst possible spot, and a soldered joint won't take the stress of clipping and unclipping for long.
Performance Cyclery in San Rafael is selling a Multi-Lens Sunglass Set with the Rx insert for less than $70.00...:eek3:
If they fit tomorrow, I'll buy 'em. Have a look...
Oh, and lasik soon, you ask...? Nope. No way. Not for at least another 20 years, if ever. I want to be absolutely sure that there are no long-term problems with laser surgery. I've heard bad things about accelerated cataract growth and macular degeneration that may be related to improperly performed LASIK surgery. :eek4:
