    Had model glasses (I need the prescription option) with the clip in lens for a while, but the frame kept getting in my eyeline. When they broke, I opted for a pair of prescription Oakley's. Expensive - yes, but far better than anything I've worn for flying before.

      I use Oakley prescription sunglasses too and I completely agree. Expensive but the optics really are superb. I spent a long time finding the right frame for my face but they wrap around very well and eliminate any glare coming in from the sides.

          I'm a big fan of full size aviators, ray ban or police brand are nice, £100 or so but my last ray bans lasted 7 years with daily use.

            As nice as aviators are I personally wouldn't use them for flying as they glare if the sun is behind you. Wraparound is pretty much essential I'd say.

              Depends on the size of your head, aviators sit flush right across my face
