You guys who can get away without prescription glasses or have a low prescription are very lucky. I've got a high prescription and it is next to impossible to get preesription sunglasses that offer decent coverage. Mostly I have to get normal glasses with tinted lenses and light flooding in the side for low protection.
Anyway, my new opticians in a nearby village has found a make that would work with my high prescription. It has a frame with a plastic shield that allows a flat, high prescrition lens fit. The frame is kind of wrap around but the lens will fit in them flat. Anyway, being a bit vain I think they look a bit like safety goggles. What do you guys think about the following options. Bear in mind most of the main sports sunglass brands only cope with up to + or - 6 prescription. My rx is a worse than that so the distortion in say a bolle frame would create effectively tunnel vision.

Do these look a bit too goggle like for on the bike and off the bike / hiking use/ travel use? I did see a pair of bolle RX sunglasses with a similar look just doesn't accept an RX higher or lower than a 6 in +/-. Thing is I need sunglasses to reduce light in summer at times, photosensitive at times. just not sure I can get away with these. Is this vanity, do you think any of these look ok or other? Looking for opinions or alternatives if anyone knows of one.
