What do you all use for sunglasses/shades when paddling around here and
there?

Now that the subject of eyewear has been brought up I've got a related
inquiry:

What do people, who have to wear glasses with powerful prescriptions (as in:
can't see diddly without them), do in rough water where the potential for
capsizing is high, or want to learn/practice rolls? Can prescription
swimming goggles be made? Are there other alternatives?

I've tried the face masks' with (NOT made to order) corrective lens'
embedded in the vision plate, but even the strongest aren't strong enough
for me. They're ok for snorkling, as one doesn't (and can't anyway) have to
see distances for that, but are not useable for navigating a boat on top of
the water. Besides, I really don't want to wear a full face mask while
kayaking.
