Flak Jacket W/ VR28 BIP -- FINALLY!

[lowincash]

So after 2 weeks of waiting, my prescription lenses finally came in! I guess due to the recent holiday, Oakley was closed for a week or something and had a lot of orders to fill so it took a bit longer than usual.

I was really worried that there will be some sort of distortion which will give me a headache due to the curvature of the lenses. After trying them on, I was super happy that there's no distortion at all and surprisingly no adjustment time was needed to get use to them Everything is so crisp and clear, it's pretty amazing to be honest. IMO, the Oakley's are a lot better than the prescription RayBan's that I had before. Clarity is top notch.

About the VR28 lens, it's really nice to be able to drive into a somewhat dark parking structure without having to remove my sunglasses. However, when the sun is shining directly into my eyes, I still had to squint. In this regard, I think the black iridium polarized lens does a better job but I'm going to stick with the VR28's.

All in all, it was worth the money and wait

Congratulations! I wouldn't worry so much about staring at the sun.
You've got other things to look at.

Were they expensive?

The lenses alone I was quoted $310. I got a good deal on them. Got 20% off the frames from amazon. The lenses cost me $188, the guy at LensCrafters gave me a discount on them because he originally quoted me the wrong price or something. So total it only cost me a little over $300.

Not bad for prescription frames, honestly! VR28 BIP is a great lens and works for most bright situations, but no lens is perfect for everything.
