    Look into magnetic sunglasses, Zenni sells a few pairs if you buy online. Best decision I’ve ever made.

    No longer do I have to yolo changing glasses while going 120km down the highway to work during that stupid 2 month period where it goes from pitch black to blinding sun during my commute.

    I’ve had them for about 3 years now and I wish they would catch on faster so I could get new styles. The sunglass part is pretty thin but I’ve yet to break it in 3 years of accidentally leaving it in my back pocket while sitting down.

      You mean clip-ons? They’re neat in theory, but my glasses are already relatively thick by virtue of my bad eyes, even in lightweight. So whenever I had a clip, the weight + bulk of the glasses started to annoy me. Pricey as it is, I’d rather just have two sets of glasses then.

        I guess they could be called magnetic clip ons. I have terrible vision myself (-6.5) and require thicker lens (which zenni doesn’t actually accommodate I had to buy from elsewhere) and I never found the added weight to be an issue. As far at price, I only paid 150 cdn for the glasses which is one of the cheaper pairs I’ve owned.

        Personally I hate having to carry around two pairs of glasses, it’s annoying af but if that’s what you prefer, you do you.
