I've really noticed the wind today while I've been gardening. Though the sun is out, there's a persistent Easterly - particularly strong if you live on top of a hill like we do!

I've been wearing my Ziena Kai again today and have been very pleased to have efffective wind protection for my eyes. The silicone shield blocks the wind very well. It's like being in a bubble of calm while the wind blows around me.

I'll be grateful for my Ziena glasses again later this week...

Recently I had to buy a new pair of varifocals because my prescription had changed. Even though I bought cheap frames, the cost still came to just under £250, which was a bit of a shock.

I have been wearing spring-fit polarised clip-ons for the last 10 years whenever I needed sun protection and I've been pretty pleased with them.

However, this time I thought I'd look into the possibility of getting a second pair of prescription glasses with tinted lenses. After doing some research on the benefits of each option, I soon realised that it...
