I used to use the cheaper glasses and thought they were just as good as the more expensive ones. I was given a pair of a popular name brand with "optic quality" lenses and they are definitely worth the money. My vision was clearer and my eyes felt a lot better at the end of the day...no more headaches. I'm using Solar Bats now and the ones I buy run around $60/pair. Obviously, there are other brands just as good, or better. I prefer a wrap-around style to help cut down the glare in my peripheral vision. I would focus on looking for better lens quality and then get whatever style you like that is within your price range. BPS carries several different brands so you should be able to find something you like. Good luck.
