WEAR THEM
All kinds of people have all kinds of excuses for not wearing sunglasses. Distortion seems to be the biggest hindrance. Maybe the next biggest reason is simply that they're a chore to put on/take off/put them away/take them out again/leave them some where. The third reason is abuse and breakage. Toss them, pitch them and then complain about the scratches. And if that's not enough, there are the fingerprints or smudges.
So, you knew all that. What you don't know is how to remedy 3 of the 4. They're still a chore. Taking a wing and shoving it into my shirt next to my bare chest is the best I have to offer for what to do with them when entering a store, for instance. Others put them back into the case, but they're mostly females because then what do you do with the case sans purse? I see some still wear them inside, but then I'm not sure how they can see. Sorta like the rock and movie stars who wear them to the Oscars. Yeah, they're cool, but blind behind those Foster Grants.
Now Foster Grant may still be in the sunglasses business but what you need to know is the best sunglasses bar none are Maui Jims. The have almost no distortion, they're stylish, and they're expensive. What else could you want in a pair?
Of course they keep out the harmful rays, but they're also light weight, come in a nice case with cleaner. They should, because you won't find a pair for under $159. And that's at the low end. But I think they're worth it. If you live where I do and face the sunshine 320 days of the year.
They're probably not worth the cost if you live in Seattle. You'd be better off spending money on a quality umbrella. I'd suggest a big old golf umbrella. But I'm not an expert in that accessory.
