Cycling sunglasses recommendations

Hubby wanted a pair of Tifosi cycling glasses with interchangeable lens for Christmas. After looking at several different shops, I ended up buying him a pair of Rudy Project glasses with only 1 pair of photosensitive lens.

He had cataract surgery on both eyes last year, and has lens implants for distant vision. He needs corrective lens only for up-close reading and night driving.

The Rudy Project glasses were 50% off, but I forgot to ask if the lens are polarized (they're not). Also, in spite of the convincing in-store demo (using a flashlight held against the lens for about 15 seconds), they barely get darker even in bright sunlight.

The shop said they will exchange them for any other pair, even if they have to order them from a different manufacturer.

He wants:
- Polarized lens
- Cycling glasses with full-coverage lens (to protect his eyes)
- NOT "old man" glasses
- Interchangeable lens would be nice, along with a case and cleaning cloth.

Wondering if anyone can suggest cycling glasses that meet most or all of the above criteria.
