My preferred Sunglasses are a pair of Bolle Vigilante.
These are of particular interest to those of us who require corrective lens.
The Vigilante are a sports persons ultimate sunglass weapon using
interchangeable polycarbonate wrap round lenes that allow the owner to
chose what kind of filtering lens they want use under different conditions,
including polarised options.
For those of us who need glasses they also allow us to clip in prescription
lens behind the polycarbonate lens, I find this gives me a great result with
minimal light refraction between the lens that is found with for example
clip-ons (which I also use).
One added bonus is have purchased the clear lens option which allows me to
also use them as safety glasses too.

I purchased a pair of cycling sunglasses for Triathelon training, they are
excellent. Have a great wrap around lens, shielding your eyes from the sun
when sidelit and are supplied with a number of different tinted lenses.
I have a dark grey lens for bright light and a Rose tinted lens for dull
days and riding at night. Its a 2 second job to swap lenses over.
Any good bike store will have a selection, the ones I have cost $120 from
Bright eyes.
Don't discoungt the ability to swap lenses, it a feature I find very useful.
