I'm starting to wear contact lenses again and now I need some sunglasses. As with everything I buy, I want good ones - polarized, UV-blocking, sturdy frames, cool-looking. So, I go to the local Sunglass Hut and check out the shades. Oakleys, Ray-Bans, Carreras, Natives, there are lots of nice ones. BUT . . . what's with the prices???

Did someone pass a law that good sunglasses have to cost over $100?

Can anyone suggest a quality brand of sunglasses for about $50? Or a way to buy those $150 Oakleys for $50? I see a lot of choices on eBay but for all I know half of them could be Chinese knock-offs.
