After years of suffering with my Peace Corps replacement glasses (even with a missing nose piece for the last two weeks), I've finally got new frames courtesy of my health insurance and few hundred bucks.

I'm now the proud owner of a sleek pair of Oakley Thread 6.0 Rx specs. Picked them up last night and I love them. They are light. They fit perfectly. And, best of all, they don't make feel like a completely useless dork.

I had wanted to get a pair of Lunor frames. I found one that I loved, the Lunor XX, sleek, modern, ultralightweight. Tried it on and they were perfect. But the $625 price tag convinced me to go with the Oakley's.

Before and after pictures to come...
