Prescription sunglasses. Just got a new pair at the local WalMart optician. Lineless tri focal, transition lenses with silver mirror coating. Magnetic clip in padding/wind guard. Have a similar lens in my current sunglasses and I really like it. Don't have to change glasses when it gets dark and I can wear them into stores, etc. $384.00.

I was contemplating these, but don't have any experience with them:

I believe your glasses can't be more than 5" wide to fit inside the glasses.

I have the same problems as you. Over the years I've worn Fitovers, Goggles (Global Vision) over my glasses, and prescription sunglasses (RayBans).

I've always wanted to try a pair of 7Eye or WileyX... or another one of those made-for-motorcycling glasses with the foam ring around the eyecups and maybe even transitions lenses so I don't have to swap them when it gets dark. They're usually expensive, but I guess it's worth it.

For years I have worn Wiley X perscription with interchangeable lenses. Can snap in my sunglasses or clear, as necessary.
