Just remember to compromise on price, not UV protection when shopping . . .
THE RECYCLE PATH: Have an old pair of sunglasses that are slightly damaged?
Instead of buying new ones, consider repairing them.
Replacement lenses, screws, and nose pads are inexpensive and can extend the life of your favourite ones.
