Clip-on sunglasses

[King Salmon]

I know clip-ons are for dorks but this is a practical matter for me. I cannot wear contacts and need eye protection while driving. I looked at Frames Direct, but their selection is limited. This is the proper shape, but $60 seems excessive for clip-ons. I will only wear them while driving, so they don't have to look great or have a brand name, just quality lenses with UV protection and, if possible, polarized.

Becareful of clip-ons that did not come with your glasses because sometimes they will not fit right. My prescription is pretty bad so when I had clip-ons before there would always be a gap when I put them on and produce a glare and they were custom made.

Get prescription sunglasses, and keep them in the car. They're for dorks too

but you'll look a lot better. Or better yet, get Lasik if you're not too old.

Is this a situation where transition lenses might help? Just a suggestion, though.

That's what I do.

I bought mine when I bought my glasses. Just don't get the type that you flip up when not in use. Mine are placed in a small hard case.
