Bad Luck
Okay. So I have terrible luck/I'm a idiot with sunglasses.
First pair= roommate stole them from me in college.
Second pair=brother sat on them, and broke them.
Third pair= lens fell out at my first race, couldn't repair 'em.
Anyone have suggestions for me? Relatively cheap, but good quality?

I am even worse with sunglasses so I go to Target and get the cheapies that last about nine months. I pay no more than $7 for a pair and don't care when they break.

I wear glasses with a very strong prescription, so I get Solar Shield sunglasses that fit over them. The only place around me that carries them is Wal-Mart, but Walgreen's carries them in some parts of the country. They kind of block some peripheral vision but I use a rear-view mirror.

I found that expensive sunglasses break just as easily as expensive sunglasses. I keep an eye out for cheap ones at stores, thrift stores and yard sales and pick them up as I find them, keeping a stock of them.
