- I did this a couple of years ago, got one pair of regular glasses and
- one pair of sunglasses. The problems I noticed where: the styles I liked
- where hard to find and the lens were ground slightly differently.
- I would get a mild headache going from the sunglasses back to the regular
- glasses if I was wearing the sunglasses for any length of time. Sorry I
- don't know my exact correction, but I am myopic with astigmatism (20/200+ in
- both eyes). The glasses lasted for about three years (my horse reaarranged
- them one day). I still use the sunglasses. Both sets came with plastic
- lenses.
