    Polarized sunglasses

    Hi Chris thanks for the kind offer but I have decided to give up on the idea at my age wrong side of 75 I could spend out and then within a year my eyes change with the permanent chemo I am on for the remainder of my life so think I may get some new rods instead to celebrate :cool:
