I know some people wear them all the time. Honestly, I never use 'em.

  1. As a glasses wearer, sunglasses were something I usually avoided. Clip-ons are awkward and you're limited in shape. I opted to go with prescription sunglasses when I changed my frames and it was worth it. I use them all the time when driving and will usually dig them out of the car when outside enough in the summer.

    1. Prescription sunglasses for me, too. I use them as much or more in winter as in summer because of the low sun and bright snow reflection. I notice that my eye floater is much more noticeable in bright light, too, so the shades help with that quite a bit. I got a new pair last fall with gradient lenses but I'm not sure I like them, the shifting brightness when I move my eyes up and down feels weird to me. I can live with it, but don't think I'll go that route next time.

    2. Places like Walmart have multiple shape clip-ons available and can match different glasses designs; only time I really use them is in the car, although I'll bring them along on vacations as well. I already have everyday and work glasses (I am NOT getting bifocals), I didn't want yet another set.

    3. Yes to prescription sunglasses. They improved my life so much.

      Which reminds, me, time to order new ones since my prescription recently changed.

      1. I have lost two pairs of prescription sunglasses which is pretty spendy. Last time I went to get some, I tried on ten pairs and found only one that felt comfortable. The cost was $1,100. I passed. Maybe I'll get something this year.

        1. Warby Parker will send you out 5 different ones to try, and you can find what feels good. I've ordered from them in the past. I've also, based on the ones I tried from them, found cheaper ones on Zenni that were similar. The pair I just ordered from Zenni, with a few extra add-ons, totaled $150, which isn't cheap cheap, but it's not too bad for something I wear all the time.

  2. As someone who puts a lot of miles in on bike, sunglasses are definitely a big part of my life. I also don't wear corrective glasses, so I don't have any of then above noted issues.
