I had been wearing some prescription ANSI safety glasses, but they don't have very large lenses and they are not transition so they don't darken in the sun. We had a bunch of money left in our healthcare spending account at the end of 2021, so I went looking for something better. Didn't like the true sports glasses, and I didn't really need something impact-resistant. Ended up with a pair of Maui Jim sunglasses with progressive, transition lenses. I can wear them day or night, and they provide enough coverage to keep the bugs out of my eyes. Plus I now have these as a backup to my regular glasses.

I would think a good optician can look at your prescription and figure out what style frame/lens you need to make it accurately. I also think that when it comes to progressive lenses, you get what you pay for. Mine are not cheap ($500-$700), but I've also never had any problems adapting to them. So consider that too.
