I bought "fit overs" as I need bifocals. Since they fit over your glasses they are not the most fashionable item but they work fine and I am happy with mine. Be sure to get polarized and a Google search will lead you to many providers. I paid in the $25 range if I recall correctly.

I bought my prescription polarized sunglasses at Sam's club.

I got those clip-ons because I'm in tri-focals. Barely afford my standard prescription glasses, purchasing prescription sunglasses is out of the budget.

I use Onos with readers, (Old Guy Eyes)

Have several pairs and have been satisfied with them.

They offer several styles & sizes, all available with RX

I wear prescription bifocals and use Foster Grant Solar Shields. You choose the appropriate size and shape to clip on your glasses. I like them because they come on and off easily and store in a pfd pocket. My wife prefers contacts and bifocal sunglasses.

My glasses came with extra magnetic sunglass lens .

I have the transition lenses in my bifocals.  They're constantly adjusting to the light levels, and I don't have to worry about losing them since I never take them off.

After my cataract surgery two years ago, I didn't have to wear my glasses anymore and I can also see sounds.

[Scott F]

I’ll use clip ons or flip ups in the car, but for fishing, I like the Cocoons that fit over my glasses. I like the side shields they have that you don’t get with flip ups.

Oakley progressives, but they are pricey

I always used prescription polarized sunglasses for decades before having cataract surgery that fixed my vision issues.

Check your vision care insurance usually covers a pair of glasses each year so get regular the 1st pair and sunglasses the 2nd pair.

I wear Costas no line bifocals. They're expensive but work great.

[Fishes in trees]

If you got to wear glasses, polarized prescription sunglasses seem to me to be the way to go.

[Bird]

I have 300 strength readers around my neck , in my tackle box, behind the boat seat, pair shove in a pocket .........wear 1X sunglasses for clarity and distance while fishing, Amazon, 3 pairs for $15.

 

I could tear up a digging iron so gotta go cheap on glasses.

You can get polarized distance glasses as well. I keep meaning to get myself a pair every year.

[OnthePotomac]

Aviator size fitovers for me on the river with a sport band to keep them on.  I only have one eye, so if I need to see better to tie, etc, I just drop them down.  Also keeps the wind out of my eye (s).  Polarized amber lenses.

Corrective laser surgery fixes the problem permanently. Then you can wear any sunglasses you want without a prescription.

Contacts, little trouble but they are worth it.

Great advice right here. 
 

My wife and I actually both have vision insurance so we can get both pairs without waiting a year. I get 1 pair on my insurance and one on hers. My 1st pair is my everyday glasses and my second pair is prescription no line bifocal polorized Ray Ban Wayfarers.

I have several pair of Nike prescription sunglasses.  I like wrap-arounds.

Prescription progressive polarized glasses, mine happen to currentlybe in Columbia frames. Good stuff. They work great in low light conditions. Mine are brown polarized. The didn't break the bank and I can see better than any of the fit-over types I use to use before.
