Now that my eye exam of yesterday is over with very little change from three years ago, I am researching new sunglasses for use when playing golf and driving on my long trips that I have planned for later this year.
The last prescription sunglasses I bought were from Zenni in 2019 and they were grey (no gradient tint) and the lens was so dark I just couldn't wear them.
So for the last several hours, I have been researching frames and sizing and came up with a style and size I can live with (I hope). That would be an Aviator frame with a lens width of 56 mm and depth of 44 mm. Using my last order as a guide, I have the other dimensions locked in and my only concerns are selecting from the various options in lens type and coatings, etc, all of which are just adding to the cost.
I have a progressive lens prescription and will use that.
Based on the bad luck with the solid grey tint (very dark) last time, I am considering a grey gradient tint as I hope that would make them not quite as dark in my viewing area. Any thoughts on that assumption?
Also, any recommendations on the various grades of lens and coatings for these occasional use sunglasses?
Another question I have is related to transition sunglasses glasses which I have never owned....will those "transition" in a car while driving? Or does one have to be totally in the sun?
So far I have researched Zenni and "39dollar glasses". Thanks for any help here.
