I need to buy some kind of sun protection glasses and I’m having a hard time deciding between those three options. I’m interested in your experiences, especially if you tried all of them.

Clip on:
Pro: Cheap, can be carried on when buying new glasses
Con: you have to carry it separately, depending on the “system” (clamp, magnetic) they might Not be fitting when buying new glasses
Extra glasses (with correction)
Pro: Its Just the Same as the normal glasses but with sun protection
Con: you have to carry it separately, when eyesight Changes you need new ones
Sunglasses you can wear over your normal glasses:
Pro: relatively Cheap
Con: you have to carry it separately, bulky, only fits when you have relatively small normal glasses
Transition:
Pro: you only have one pair Con: they normally dont Work when driving a car because windshield Filters Most UV (which triggers the darkening of the glasses)
First three are First Hand experience from me. Never Had Transitions because i mostly need sunglasses when driving.
Quick addition, you can buy glasses that transition without UV. So not working in the car is dependent on which transitions you get.
Current transitions now work when driving.
My favorite approach: transitions with magnetic clip-on.
Leave a clip-on in the car, and elsewhere. They’re pretty cheap, $5-$10.
(Great explanation of the pros/cons).
Oh ok. I Had written them off after learning they dont Work (20 years ago or so)
My Favorite approach to the Problem is extra sunglasses. Most opticians Here now offer a free 2nd pair when buying a new Set of glasses and i make IT sunglasses then.
