Any eye doctor who sells Maui Jim could probably set you up. They're probably about twice the cost of regular Maui Jims...but the quality is sublime.

I agree... Maui's are great, and prescription is available for them, but comes at a premium price

I wear contacts and use prescription sunglasses. The clip-ons allow too much reflected light, but you can go to some of the larger Wal-Marts and pick up a clip-on that they sell for $10-14 - they are OK for what they are, and I have used them too for years. They have some other polarized glasses that fit over the glasses - they are not like the elderly wear, they are smaller and fit better. Cocoons and there is another brand. Have seen them at Brooks, #^&#^&#^&#^&s, CVS, Walmart, etc. They are decent if only for fishing. Having the side shields on them help block out the light that would be reflected back to the inside of the glasses.

BTW - have bought two pairs of prescription glasses at an online place called goggles4u put the www and the .com at the end. They will make any pair of glasses (about $25 for regular non-bifocal pair of glasses - lenses and frames) and make them into non-polarized sunglasses.
