My wife has an eye condition that requires she wears 'sunglasses' to prevent more problems. We have been searching for some rose tinted glasses (yes I do know the history behind them at what they imply about the wearer). Can anyone come up with any suggestions of a supplier or means to acquire? We have tried quite a few options but are coming up with nothing useful.

I've seen these for sale on stalls for re-enactors but cant name a specific supplier, I've also seen them supplied for people with dyslexia.

I'm guessing you've tried normal high street opticians such as specsavers etc, Ray ?

Maybe an online optician ?

Here's one I found with a quick search ... (no recommendation just an idea)

http://www.periodglasses.com/

his phone numbers on his web site so maybe worth a call ?

Contact John Lakin 18th Mo, He might be able to help. I know he has various glasses and writes on the Authentic campaigner website.

Hi
Might have to look into some glasses as well as I suffer with Migraines when it's too bright.
Always got sunglasses on when not in uniform.

I found a site retrospecs.co.uk that do old and repro glasses but only up to certain prescriptions.
