I just ordered some new regular glasses and what with the indexed lenses (a must when you have a strong prescription) and progressive bi-focals they are supper expensive. My current glasses are held together with very stylish purple duct tape where the temple meets the lens holder. The surprising thing to me is that the tape has been there for about a month and very few people have noticed it. Does that say something about people not looking at me??? (Some may have just not said anything, but I have pointed it out to a few and they had not seen it before then.)<br />By the way, my eyes are also green, but they are a gray-green with amber flecks in the middle. I have only met one other person with eyes the same color. <br />I hope you enjoy your new shades.VictoriaRnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-65319252588399240412012-08-09T12:38:44.623-04:002012-08-09T12:38:44.623-04:00I have blue peepers, so sunglasses are a must!

(But I don't think they pull it off :-)) I don't see many people with eyes the colour of mine - they don't have any grey or brown nor do they ever look blue, IMO, though sometimes if I wear a blue top people get confused. Mind you, my eyes are big, as are my irises, so I think it gives more area for the colour to show through. Probably increases my light sensitivity also.<br /><br />You can be assured, glasses or no, I'm unlikely to get into an unpowered boat again any time soon.<br /><br />I wonder how much the security people look at eyes for colour. Because people can wear coloured contacts and because eyes do seem to change shade according to clothing (in some people that is very pronounced).<br /><br />I have a friend whose eyes are deep amber yellow. No joke. They're like cat eyes.K.Linehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15350615302797686048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-79021031102002683682012-08-09T12:14:58.748-04:002012-08-09T12:14:58.748-04:00Oooh, we're the coolest :-) I'm fascinated...Oooh, we're the coolest :-) I'm fascinated by the unique preferences of lens colour and tint. I suppose that's why they have a zillion options! I described the glasses badly, if at all, so I'm not surprised you can't imagine them. But they will be here soon enough (I suppose). FYI, this pair was by no means the most expensive pair, even if it hadn't been on sale. I looked at frames (not for purchase on my budget) that were 600 bucks before the lenses. That would have brought the finished glasses to over a grand.

I was on the water last weekend with my glasses, before the canoe debacle, and I did note the striations associated with horizontal glare, but I'm on the water like once a year for 3 hours.K.Linehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15350615302797686048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-31610302801501433372012-08-09T12:11:24.632-04:002012-08-09T12:11:24.632-04:00Hi Lauren, thanks for your comment!

I found the brown non-polarized lenses (I don't know if they are called indexed, hmmm) did not have the yellow tone. They were actually brown-tinted. I really hope I enjoy them too. It's weird to go from grey lenses to something different but you can't gain if you don't change. I'll keep you posted.K.Linehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15350615302797686048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-19246399542858417102012-08-09T09:26:55.314-04:002012-08-09T09:26:55.314-04:00So, green as in an almost-contact-lens-cosmetic gr...So, green as in an almost-contact-lens-cosmetic green? Mine are green, but sometimes they are grey-blue. Ish. Hard to characterize and I always worry my passport will get challenged . . . <br />And I'm curious, do these new (and expensive) sunglasses (and the, also expensive, repairs to their predecessors) mean a commitment to stay out of dangerous canoes? ;-)materfamiliashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062766947897513369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-89318615574988548732012-08-09T09:04:07.893-04:002012-08-09T09:04:07.893-04:00My dad is left-handed and green-eyed too.

I'm thinking I read somewhere that green is a dominant color, but based on personal experience I haven't noticed that to be the case.<br /><br />I personally prefer the amber colored lenses, to me they give the least amount of color distortion, though they may not give the darkest shading.<br /><br />I can't picture the glasses from your description (I'm horrible at visualizing), so I can't wait to see them!<br /><br />P.S.

And more particularly, your 'voice'). I just got some new sunnies earlier this year after 6 years with the old pair (prescription finally changed enough to warrant new lenses). Got them back and was very concerned to have the "nauseating" yellow-brown version of the "brown polarised lens", as my previous lenses were also brown, but 'neutral' not nauseating. Took them back as the script was wrong, and it turns out the thinner (indexed? is that the right word?) polycarbonate lenses have this yellowy brown, but the thicker ones don't, so I reverted - I now have coke-bottle sized edges (mercifully hidden by the frame's thickness) but I no longer feel like everything's yellow. <br /><br />Hope you enjoy your new frames when they arrive!Laurennoreply@blogger.com
