News flash: you can't just walk in and buy ANY KIND of prescription sunglasses. Don't believe the commercials.

I ended up getting $20 sunglasses at Walmart that go OVER my regular glasses. Those worked great, until day 2 of my drive back home, when the earpiece just fell off. The plastic failed after about two weeks of moderate use.

Fitovers? I loved them. Mine didn't fall apart though. I was especially grateful that big sunglasses started to get in style again too.
