Carroll:
I wear bifocals with polycarbonate lenses. The lenses are photosensitive, they darken in sunlight. They do not darken in automobiles or airplanes. I am quite satisfied with them. I don't know the brand of the lenses. I have a pair of prescription sunglasses for flying, but often I find that I don't need them.
The $750 sounds excessive to me. My optometrist will replace both pairs of glasses for less than that. I suggest shopping around some.

I, too, wear bifocals with the Transitions photosensitive coating. Mine, however, are glass and not plastic....I seem to be very hard on glasses and they scratch very easily.
I believe your polycarbonate lenses are much more scratch-resistant. Have you had regular plastic lenses so as to make a comparison?
The no-line bifocals I am wearing right now, with new wire frames with spring-loaded temples and Transitions coating came from Costco for $150.00.

Since I switched from glass lenses, mine have all been polycarbonate. They are quite a bit lighter than glass. I think they have a higher index of refraction. I know that they are thinner. I have had no scratch problems, and I am not particularly careful.
