Sunglasses

I have a pair of Ray-Bans with the B-15 brown colored mirrored lenses
which are great for enhancing contrast and eliminating scattered blue
light of which there is plenty at altitude. The brown lens barely
distorts color, and really helps in finding the wispies or darkest part
of the cloud. Optics are excellent with no distortion. I bought a new
pair on Ebay for $30.00. They can't be beat IMO.

They look a bit geeky, but I really like these:

They fit right over my Rx glasses and provide complete wraparound
antiglare protection.

I have had good luck with Hidalgos. They sell various brands, such as
Ray Ban, American Optical, and Serengeti. They also sell various Frames
such as Ray Ban, Randolph Engineering, Titanium & Monel by different
companies.

They also grind to prescription including bifocals. So, you can get a
top notch frame like Randolph engineering with custome made lenses.

Their web page has plenty of informative advice, but is totally useless
for ordering. Go their web page and order their hard copy catalog. You
will not be sorry.

In my opinion, there's nothing better than a pair of polarized Sunglasses on the frame of your choice. I've tried several polarized glasses over the past 14yrs of fishing and I've yet to find anything better.
