I've been wearing progressive bifocals for years now. I can easily see anything on the handlebar in close focus with them. I originally had a sunclip made to fit these glasses, but the sunclip broke and a replacement is expensive. So I opted for the other extreme, budget-wise. The glasses are small enough that I can wear those cheap two-dollar Harbor Freight sunglasses over them. A little clunky/Fred-esque, and the shades get scratched just by looking at them the wrong way. But at two bucks a pop, I buy them in quantities, and if I lose a pair, or one gets run over by a car after falling out of my pocket (happened twice so far), fah.
