I would like to know what to call the glasses that you occasionally see on blind people in the movies - they have side pieces that are also dark glass. At one point in time, I had a pair that had been knocking around a machine shop I once worked in that we used for welders fire watch people, but they were stolen out of my car.

Anybody have a brand name i can google, or a type-name, or even \<looks hopeful\> links? I can remember seeing a pair in teh window of a high end optic shop in a mall [about 5 years ago] but can’t remember a brand name now=(

They are not wrap arounds, I dont want that kind. These were more or less round lenses, in a dark optic green, with matching green glass in the temple side pieces, and I seem to remember they were goldish in color [not real gold, or plated maybe]

Pretty Please?
