I wear prescription glasses...for driving and reading.... I used to buy prescription sun glasses.... but I decided to save about $450 and spend it on the boat instead... Now I have a couple of pairs of "clip ons" ....both are polarized....and if I lose them or ruin them....they can be replaced fairly cheaply.

*Being a quack, and therefore all too aware of of the damage potetial of the sun, I always wear sunnies.* In fact I developed the habit when quite young and sustained an eye injury which left me photosensitive, so I hope that misdaventure will stand me in good stead in avoiding cataracts, even here in the bright Queensland sun.* However, I'm with JAT.* The prescriptiopn glasses with multifocal lenses are dear enough, so I buy them with the 'Transitional', self-tinting lenses, and then for conditions still a bit bright, wear cheap, flip-up type clip-ons for extra glare protection.* However, they do look a bit 'daggy' and I remember having a good laugh at myself, when number one son, while driving with me one day, said very seriously, "Dad, is one of the benefits of getting older that you no longer care how you look...like when you wear your sunnies flipped up...?"
