I had read an article about Luxottica a few weeks ago, and bought 300 shares. It's up 8% since then, which is not too shabby. It really was an eye-opening thing to see how this firm has the entire market to itself.

Just because one company makes a lot of things doesn't mean that they're all equal, though. Manufacturers often produce lines of varying quality, and of course, design. Personally, I go to my local optometrist and buy polarized lenses in an aviator-style frame.

I bought these and had my prescription installed. They are good as anything I have had.

I picked up a set of Native sunglasses at the beginning of the season this year and they have been great. They were not rediculously expensive and they came with a set of low light lenses which helped out on some night trips. Not the best low lights I have seen but better than nuthin.

The lenses are pretty duable too. I have just wiped them on my shirt after geing salt sprayed all day and no scratches at all.
