StantonMac Monkey see monkey do

Have never gotten them again. I just buy a separate pair of prescription sunglasses that I keep in my car.

Are transition lenses worth it?

I prefer dedicated sunglasses. Transition lenses are terrible as sunglasses.

Also, they don't always transition indoors as well as you'd like.

And while you're at it, get the polarized lenses.

Everyone has their own opinion but I hated mine. I am not super sensitive to sun but I hated that they didn't work in

And they take a min to transition. I’ve always thought they looked weird

They’re awful. And they don’t work in the car.

Do it. That "half-transitioned" look can't be beat.

Depends. Are you going for the nerdcore aesthetic?

I like mine but mainly because I'm horrible at switching from normal to sunglasses. If it does it for me that saves me

Absolutely not. There’s no world where anyone should ever get them, they are so ugly
