You need a translation for 'cupcakes'?

The DriveWear photochromatics are polarised as well, which is probably
what makes them different to all the rest.

Personally, I wouldn't be bothered with sunnies that weren't polarised
but I've no experience with both, since DriveWear don't do bifocals in
photochromatic (only polarised). I've found those to be vastly better
than the genuine Polaroid bifocal lenses I've had previously.

Expect them to be a pita when you first get them.
When I first got mine (graduated type) the transition from looking
through one area of the glasses to the other made me feel nauseous and
it took 2-3 weeks to get used to them.
The worst was using the computer, constantly looking from the keyboard
to the screen made me feel so bad the glasses almost went in the bin
several times.
IMO its worth persevering with them because once your brain adjusts to
the things they are brilliant and the ones I'm wearing now are by far
the best I've ever had in more than 50yrs of wearing glasses.
