They have sunglasses that will fit over your regular glasses that wrap
around to keep all UV rays out. Walgreen's carries them; they're about
30/pair...I like them better than either my clip-ons,


Only problem is that you'll look like an octegenarian who's just had
cataract surgery. The surgeons give those to all their patients.

which have a bad habit of slipping off when you're least expecting them to,
or prescription sunglasses, which never seem to be the same prescrrption as
my regular glasses. Probably has something to do with the color of the
lense or the amount of lught let in. Best person to answer would be
Maxprop, since it's his specialty.


Sun lenses, if properly dark, will cut your VA by about a line and one-half.
Some people *feel* that the lenses aren't the same Rx, but they generally
are.

I don't particularly care what they look like, just that they work
Seeing that I'm out there to SAIL and not to be some fashion plate, it
is more important that they are comfortable and do their job. Putting
vanity before necessoty, IMO, is rather dimb, so I'll just stick with my
geeky glasses.
