I had photo sun prescription glasses when I went into the army. They somehow became my official glasses, and the drill sergeants hated them. "Get down and give me 50, Hollywood!"

Sunglasses are bad for you. Your eyes need the direct UV light stimulation to trigger serotonin release in your brain which improves your mood and your thinking. You spend enough time indoors without sunlight and then you finally get outside into what your body has evolved into liking and you want to block it.

Besides if your eyes don't focus correctly the natural way your eyes correct themselves is when the defocused UV light hits the retina it causes your eyeball to actually begin to reshape itself so that the light that hits your retina has more contrast which is a result of it being improper focus. In other words your eyes can correct their own errors over time if the light to your eyes is not blocked. This is especially true for small children which is why it's really not a great idea to give small children eyeglasses in the beginning and you absolutely should never let them where eyeglasses outdoors in natural sunlight because their eyes do not have the ability to correct their bad vision if the UV light is blocked.


Too long didn't read version if God thought you'd be light was bad for your eyes you'd have built-in sunglasses

I have photogray lenses in my scrip glasses. They don't get as dark as true sunglasses, which is fine.

I scratch and break sunglasses like a nigger nigs so I buy cheap ones on amazon.

I have worsening eyes and have worn glasses for years. I was able to make do with non-prescription sunglasses for a while - but recently it became hard to read tape measures and gauges outside.

I got a cheap pair of prescription sunglasses online - they work just like regular glasses, great.

I had them on a lanyard so that I could take them off and just have them hang on my neck when going inside and outside.

Now....one day....I hang the prescription sunglasses on the rear view mirror in my car using said lanyard at the end of the day for the weekend. They hang all sunny weekend - burning a fucking stripe 1/4" wide across the passenger side seat as the sun moved from east to west. Looked like a weld.

Just a warning - lenses have a lensing effect.

Prescription RayBans. Not cheap but I take care of my glasses.

I didn't wear glasses and always bought the cheap sunglasses.....until I didn't.

I wanted some mono chromatic that were polarized and you just don't get that with cheap ones. I ended up with a pair from this company.

Wow. Holy shit. I'm never going back to the cheapos, ever. Ordered another pair last year.

You are conflating prescription (which is for correcting your eyesight) with polarized (which is for reducing/eliminating glare).

You can always buy non-prescription, polarized sunglasses. And they can also be cheap.

The only bonus of prescription sunglasses is that you don't need to wear contact lenses to use them.

A third option is sunglasses that actually go over top of your existing glasses. I keep a pair in the car, but they are bulky and uncomfortable if used for long periods.

Prescription sunglasses. Don't be cheap about it.

Polarized lenses is always smart.

Prescription sunglasses are for those who need corrective vision.

rope your neck = no need glasses

I wear a certain style of Panama Jacks. I also buy the HD contrasted to my specifications from Hong Kong and sometimes Japan. They make every day bright and sunny even if its rainy and if you see something like an oil leak or whatever on the road it glows bright. Its wild.

I break and lose sunglasses all the time, so I buy cheap ones from Safety Glasses USA. They have a large variety, and most are rated for riding motorcycles, workshop, and construction safety.
