That may be all YOU need. I need quality lenses with full UV protection in a reasonably stylish and functional package that isn’t going to break or scratch easily. I find there is a price to be paid for all these features, but would agree that some brands offer better value for money than others. There is certainly a strong fashion element to sunglasses, which is not that surprising since they are sitting right on your face.
