For those who have to wear corrective lenses most of the time, what's your solution for sunglasses?

Asked by Sarcasm (16793points) January 17th, 2011

I’ve never owned sunglasses. I’ve worn corrective lenses since I was about 10, and since high school I’ve pretty much worn them from the time I wake up till the time I go to sleep. For the most part, I was always able to tolerate the sun shining, but lately (I have no idea why) it just seems too intense and I feel the need for it to be toned down. But given that I need prescription lenses to actually, y’know, see things, that’s not as easy as it is for everyone else.

So I’m curious, for the other people who need glasses most of the time, how do you deal with the sun?
Do you have prescription sunglasses? Do you have standard sunglasses that you switch with your clear lenses when it gets too bright, and just put up with the loss of clarity? Do you use those sunglasses designed to go over your regular glasses (That seems really uncomfortable. Just wearing one pair is uncomfortable enough)? Do you simply shield your eyes or hide in the shade as best you can, and avoid wearing tinted glasses?
And whatever solution you’re going with, how’s that working out for you?
