Where can I buy sunglasses? (self.Blind)
submitted by meni_s
I have retiniyis pigmentosa, so based on my doctor's advice, I'm looking to buy a good pair of sunglasses. I don't leave in the US but I noticed that the price at some online stores (such as Zenni) is significantly lower than the price on the local stores here.
So, can anyone reccomnd a site (which has international shipping options) for buying sunglasses with good UV blocking ? (My doctor recommended that I buy ones with 550 nm blocking if it is possible)

I recently did a bunch of research and ordered from noirmedical.com. The shipping info says street addresses only but doesn’t specify country limitations; I couldn’t find that info.

I added a pair to cart and checked the shipping option there. It seems they do have international shipping and it costs about 50$.

Oof. I’m sorry!

It's OK ☺ actually I'm considering ordering from them anyway since I just didn't find any similar website (and even including shipment it is chipper than the price on the local stores)

Thanks! Looks really good. I too can't find any shipping information. Maybe I'll try to call them to find out.

You're welcome! I haven't received my order yet or I could comment on how they're working out for me so far. I have high hopes. :)

I bought my extra dark ones on Amazon.

I never had "extra dark" glasses. As I still can see (filed is narrow so I'm legally blind) does it make everything really dark? I wonder how convenient it is.

I wear the extra dark glasses to protect my eyes.

Amazon is my go-to place for just about everything.

There are so many things on Amazon! Can you point me to a specific model of glasses?
