Did I see right? Oakleys £499!!

The heading to this thread suggests to me that it is all a clever marketing ploy by the opticians - but perhaps not all that clever as they were hoping passers by would go into the shop to ask this question rather than post it on an internet forum. They would then quickly switch the tags on the glasses and point out that the person evidently did not "see right" and that they should have their eyes tested immediately to prevent any further embarrassing and potentially financially disadvantageous accidents thereafter. On testing it would become apparent that the person needed spectacles to correct their vision and due to a very peculiar nature of the eye defect, only these spectacles at £499 would correct the defect.

One of the nose pads having come off the pair I'd had for 3 years, I bought a new pair of sunnies at the York Rally this year, 10 quid. They are the first 'sporty looking' pair I've had (IE the sort with lenses that clip in and out, although I only have the one set of lenses), and a few people have remarked on them looking a bit special - I think it's the 'metallic' looking blue colour of the lenses.... Plus, they are the first pair I've ever had that don't slip down my nose all the time....


I have noticed though, a sort of polarising effect that makes the windscreens of oncoming cars seem to shimmer briefly as they come towards me - is that normal?

Go into an optician, walk up to the counter and squint at the wall behind the shopkeeper. Order a big mac and fries.

When they tell you that you're at an optician's, apologize and leave, ensuring frustration for the optician and hilarity for yourself....

I went to the optician and told him that I thought i was short sighted. He took me outside and said 'look into the sky what can you see'. 'The sun' I said. He replied ' so how much further do you want to see'.
