Hey Lemmies, I want to buy a new pair of sunglasses without contributing to Luxotica dominance. I’ve had Shady rays, but I am looking for a non-american brand.

Look forward to hear your recommendations.

    Its probably not the best answer you looking for but since I use prescription glasses for driving I always get a pair of prescription sunglasses as well. I can choose the frame, the lense and the type of coating on it (usually go for polarized/anti-reflection).Even my health insurance works on these so I can claim back some money from the price since its qualifies as regular prescription glasses (EU). Just need a descent enough optometrist. Some places even allow you to re-use existing frames and you only paying for the eye exam and lenses)

    They are not cheap for sure (100-200 euros minimum for frame + lenses) but for me its a great long term investment.

      I like to tell every eyeglass wearer I meet about Zenni. Your insurance may or may not cover it, but you probably won’t care because they only charge about $20 per pair of glasses unless you need bonkers lenses.
