All I have is an original set of pd Carrera sunglasses from the early 80s. They are still the best sunglasses around, but you can no longer get new replacable lenses for them.

I've been told that is the only way to get lenses.....buy one of those sets. I heard they were going for around 300.00 per set!! I thought mine were rediculous at like 129.00 when they were new! They were just too cool, I had to have them. After living with them for over twenty years, I wish someone would make the new lenses. For those who don't know them, they came with two sets of lenses and you raised the tubular tab over the center bar to release the lenses and install the other set. One set was dark gray, the other set was dark green polarized. The frames came originally in gold or titanium look dark silver. They later came out with black frames, also. Mine are the titanium look dark silver and have gotten even neater looking with years of usage. :dance:
