What's perplexing you today?

What about buying the frames online and having the lenses put in by an optician.
Thats what I've done. IIRC not all places carry all the lines, just like everything else.
Do you find that to be a relatively new trend, Spexx?

Better control because you determine when you're wearing sunglasses and when you're not. You have absolutely no control over your Transitions lenses - they get dark when uv light hits them, and light when it doesn't. When you walk from bright daylight into a dimly lit restaurant, the lenses will take 7-10 minutes to fade. In essence, they're sunglasses for awhile when you don't want them to be sunglasses. With over-rx or clip-ons, you don't have to take off your clear Rx glasses - they both go on top of your clear glasses, and the change is immediate.

The most convenient are the magnetic clip-on sunglasses, but they're not inexpensive.

I've seen it a couple of times. It's disappointing when I have to tell someone that the frame they bought on line doesn't fit them or is incompatible with their Rx.
