Dear Steve,
I have a pair of Havens that I bought at Bass Pro in Harrisburg. I had intended to get Cocoons but couldn't find anywhere close by where I could try them on. I stopped at Bass Pro, and they had a whole rack of different sized frames and different colored lenses. I easily found a pair that fit over my glasses and my big ol' buckethead.
I have prescription amber polarized glasses too. The Havens do just as well for me as the $ 400.00 glasses, and you could get 2 pair and still not hit your max price.
Regards,
Tim Murphy 🙂

I got a pair from Walmart or ****s for like $25
They work fine for me
But I mainly just use them as a backup to my prescription polarized glasses, which are still better.
The fit overs tend to fog up on humid or rainy days
BTW, I got those prescription bi-focals from Zenni for around $100

When I fish, especially on a wooded stream there at least 20 times a day when I can see certain things better with or without sunglasses. In those situations, flip-ups rule...
Do yourself a favor and check out the Cocoons Polarized Flip-Ups...
I use Cocoons Polarized Flip-Ups as my sunglasses pretty much exclusively. Among other things, they come in 6 different tints. For fishing I prefer the amber or copper tinted lenses. BTW - The smaller square or rectangle versions fit in the Clip-Ons Case.
And speaking of clip-ons, Cocoons clip-ons are another option of you don't think you want flip-ups. I'll also add Cocoons customer service is excellent!!

I'll second Zenni. I get my prescription polarized sunglasses from them for about $130. I have a strong Rx in my right eye so I go for the higher index polycarbonate to keep the lens thickness down. They'd be less expensive at standard index.
They're definitely the way to go for me.

My no insurance excitement plan was $200 at eyeland... prescription polarized , already had frame.
As others have said, fit overs are hot, they are heavy since you’re wearing two pair of glasses, and they fog up. Clip ons are a way better option but still heavy on the nose. Best thing I ever did was get prescription bifocal/progressive sunglasses. I also stay away from the wrap around glasses as they also are overly hot and fog up too much.

Cocoons. Ugly but effective
