Sigh, I can't wait till cycling "fashion" rotates back away from ski goggles.

They also give you a wider, less obstructed field of view and the higher top edge, in particular, caters to the more aggressive position typical with road cyclists.

sadly due to needing prescription, most of the sport sunglasses are ruled out, in the end RayBan wayfarer works the best. Gray polarized lens is a little dark for cloudy days, my next pair gonna try transition drivewear

Oakley. Tifosi. Rudy Project. Just to name a few. And they are having a sale.
Personally, I have a pair of Rudy Projects with the Rx insert so I don't need new lenses if my Rx changes.

I wear contact lenses. I wouldn’t wear them full time, but I can put up with them when I ride. I ride with jawbreakers. I like I can use different lenses depending on the conditions and you can find them pretty cheap.

That's what I have for the same reason, but they don't fit well. I have brought them in to be adjusted, but they can only tighten them so much. I may go with a prescription insert in sports glasses.

The Costco employee who tweaked the temples complained how hard they were to bend. I'm thinking - "exactly what I want to own!"
I need to research the frames and get the model # so I can do this again. The Costco experience was very satisfactory and not just because they were a very good price. Only my prescription Vaurnets (those mirrored sunglasses fashionable in the '80s) were as good as these (for racing sailboats; they were lousy for cycling). And the Costco's probably cost me the same number of dollars 30 years later!

I wear contacts so prescription sunglasses are not necessary. I have a big-ass, melon head and face so Tifosi Dolomite sunglasses work well for me. Dolomites are well under $75 so they don't break the bank if they have to be replaced and are comparable in quality to Oakley, etc...which cost twice as much.

+1 on larger sunglasses and prefer frameless (i.e. Oakley EVZERO or SmithOptics Attack MAX model). However, best all around for me is the GIRO Air Attack Shield. You get an unobstructed vision coverage with no disruption from the frame.
