Thanks. Ordered a couple of pairs to keep in the cars
You should try wear them also
Only in the car though
I was thinking the same thing. Bought 2 pairs one inside the car and one walking to the car. Looking cool 😎
I have some of these sunnies. These are polarized and high quality made lenses. Better than high end brands.
Safety glasses are also a good alternative to high end brand sunglasses
But the high end brands are like diamonds! ;)
Got 2 thanks. $13.30 each for polarized sunnies is a good deal.
No stock in Vic
Awesome thanks!
Son always keeps losing his sunnies…Boo! My order was cancelled
What the, 10 mins later, order is ready for collection???
No deal IMHO, only around 5 pairs men's sunglasses reduced to below $20 which is the norm for CC sunnies at every chemist…
Can't say I have ever seen CC Sunglasses at Chemists for below $20 (mens at least), usually closer to $40+
Always 2 for $40 at my local ones
Wow, that is decent pricing, where is that? Even CC own Website are $30 upwards per pair. I have worn these for years and avg price shopping around is $40 -> $50 for the one's I like.
Never seen the polarised ones for under $20 everyday price, although there are 50% off promotions every now and then. But given they retail for $40-$50 each that's still a lot more than $13.30 each..
Polarised for this price, thanks purchased 4 pairs
I assume these are unsuitable for fishing/boating? I was looking in BCF and their prices are ridiculous.
They are suitable. Polarised.
i use the dundee frame with polarised green lenses, I wear em fishing from the bank and beach , no problems
Dont know how they go on a boat thoI wear the cancer council brown/amber lenses fishing all the time. Bank, boat or kayak. They are quite good and allow you to see into the water really well. I don’t worry too much if I break or lose them because they are so cheap on special.
Main thing for fishing glasses is having lenses that wrap around with no side gaps, because the light bounces from all different angles off the water. But polarised lenses are much the same until you get to the real quality ($300+) stuff.
I fish with $25 glasses from CC or black ice or whoever is cheapest at the chemist and has the right shape. I mean, I’m fishing, I already don’t look stylish
Great, thanks.
Cancer Council Australia is a national, nonprofit organisation which aims to promote cancer-control policies and to reduce the illness caused by cancer in Australia. It advises various groups, including the government, on cancer-related issues, acts as an advocate for cancer patients and their friends, and is a major funding contributor towards health research, prevention and education.
decent price, bought 2 pairs for $50
thanks
my son will be happy but my daughter's gonna want glasses too
The main problem with polarised lenses is you can't look at LED displays like smartwatches very well
the main problem with non-polarised lenses is they mostly don't offer the same level of protection for your eyes to avoid UV radiation damage.
This is why the Cancer Council makes proper polarised lenses available at affordable prices.
Priorities.
I'm a pilot and we are banned from wearing polarised lenses
And when flying, depending on he aircraft / role, that is probably fine, as in most modern aircraft (certainly ones with glass cockpits whereby polarised lenses are a concern), your layers of plastics on the windows have UV-A and UV-B blocking protection to a fairly extensive extent. I'd still have polarised glasses for a day at the beach.
Your older planes, I'd be concerned with some studies showing twice the rates of melanoma amongst pilots (I know an career instructor that had huge skin cancer issues on his face in his forties). Now in remission, he plasters his face in sunscreen to fly the old bug squashers like a Tomahawk where you sit in a bubble.@MrFrugalSpend: You misunderstood. We can't wear them because we can't see the displays very well. Looking out the window is fine but they're not good for checking displays. Try looking at your phone while wearing polarised lenses and you'll see what I mean
@[Deactivated]: No I did not misunderstand.
As I said, planes with glass cockpits - which as a pilot you would know is a term for planes with digital displays as opposed to old analogue dials, they are also likely modern enough to have UV protection in the windshield. I'm not saying there is a direct correlation, I am saying ones with digital displays are likely new enough for UV protection in the windshield as well. So the quality of your glasses is probably not that important if the aircraft has UV blocking in built in.
I've certainly in corporate planes there is UV protection in the windows. Beechcraft even use polarised layers to enable you to black out the passenger windows in something like a kingair by rotating a filter screen, and I find it quite amusing when you turn your head to the side with polarised sunglasses on the window actually goes blacked out looking.
@MrFrugalSpend: Look buddy I'm not hear to waste my Sunday arguing with you about semantics. Polarised lenses are shyte if you need to read digital displays. The end
@[Deactivated]: I think you need to look up the definition of arguing. - all I've said is your plane probably has UV protection built in and that is okay that you therefore don't need to be too concerned about the quality of your sunglasses lenses.
All of a sudden you turn into Will Smith and have a massive overreaction and start slapping!
@MrFrugalSpend: Settle down mate. All I said is that polarised lenses are not good for looking at digital displays. Do you understand now. I don't give a hoot about UV. Maybe it's time to get off your keyboard and go outside and play
@[Deactivated]: I'm quite calm. I've also always understood everything you are saying. Polarised is bad for digital displays - got it, always had it.
Your original post was about smartwatches, not being a pilot.
Also got that you don't care about UV - you don't care about cancer to your face and eyes. Fine, your prerogative.
Everything you've said since stems from some sort of misunderstanding you claim to exist that doesn't.I've learned something thanks to Borg - so I am glad I commented. Whatever is going on with you and the side of the bed you got out on - I hope you feel better soon.
@MrFrugalSpend: The Polarised layer just protects against reflection and not part of the UV protection. Many sun glasses are not polarised. Safety glasses for example often have very high UV protection and yet not polarised.
I didn't know that, perhaps its just marketing people always push the exy polarised lenses as better for you and I've bought that idea
Cancer council state the UV rating category but not everyone does make it obvious.
It be nice if better mandatory quality ratings were brought in where they have to more prominently display the UV blocking category with all sunglasses like an energy rating plastered on a fridge. That way you'd be more likely to pick your glasses based on the protection they offer instead of looks etc.
We'd find way more sellers offering only top rated glasses and have people like me not just picking polarised in the hope it offers good protection without realising that is less important.@MrFrugalSpend: Yes it would be nice. The problem is not everything is Apples for Apples. A pair of Ray Bans (example only) purchased overseas would not necessarily have the same UV protection as the one made for Australian. Comes down to whether they choose to label their Sunglasses to meet Australian standards.
More about: [ACCC Standards] (https://www.productsafety.gov.au/product-safety-laws/safety-…)
@Borg: Thanks for the link and info. I did buy my Ray Bans from UK so now you've really got me interested! Good thing I'm getting some of these ones from this deal on the way!
@MrFrugalSpend: Impossible to know without asking in your case "Ray Ban". They may well have a global standard which is above Australian standards (or not)!
@Borg: Given I bought a model number that was the same here and there I'd like to hope luxottica they don't bother having different lenses / standards for different countries. I would have thought that'd be more trouble than its worth.
Thanks OP. Bondi Sunglasses Recommend
If you have the appropriate cover with AHM, you can claim back $50 per person cancer council products
Anyone immediately think of Kath & Kim when Kel wears his Cancer Council sunglasses?
I ordered a pair for pick-up, I was charged, the order was confirmed, and then I received an email later in the day saying they couldn't fulfill it and that I would get a refund in a few business days.
most i've spent on sunnies. Are Reject shop sunnies good enough to protect your eyes?
It depends. Not sure I would trust the UV rating on a lot of cheapie sunglasses (or even overseas expensive ones) as this is why we use them i.e. to protect our eyes. At least the cancer council one's (being an Oz org) I would hope do have decent/accurate protection especially against Australian UV levels.
thanks i might stick to these guys now
Thanks. Kids sunnies for $6.30ea and proper eye protection.
