Any sunglasses connoisseur want to give a price break down? Maybe give a few highlights for each price bracket (to be determined by you)? That’d be \*extremely \*helpful to someone who hasn’t bought a pair of non-$15 glasses…ever. (Okay - I had a good pair of Oakley’s when I was a lifeguard some 15 years ago.)

CR-39 - plastic  
Glass - glass

The glass lenses are a lot better, but significantly more expensive.
