I had cataract surgery a couple years ago. I currently wear the same Maui Jim wrap-arounds I used before the surgery. I do not wear them for UV protection because the REPLACEMENT lenses IN MY EYES have UV protection. I wear the Maui Jim's primarily for the lenses and secondly for the fit and durability of the frame as well as their ability to protect my eyes from wind, dirt and debris. Having had cataracts should have been enough to let you know how important eye sight is and how amazing our newly established eye sight is regarding quality of life! Really? $15 drug store glasses? Yea, they may get the job done but there's no way, on any level, they are as good as Maui Jim's, Oakley's or other top brands. Life is short ... Enjoy the ride! You only get one set of eyes. That said, I do wear clear safety glasses from Lowes/Home Depot when I ride in the dark.
