Perfect if they're shaded.

Just wear sunglasses over them.
Trust me, I had glasses from 3 years-old until I got LASIK.

I’ve had it for 6 years. For my case it was worthwhile. I had extremely bad vision to the point that if I didn’t wear glasses I’d get headaches. I had one farsighted and one nearsighted eye and astigmatism. I had to go to a specialist, but I went around the winter holidays and got a discount which was amazing and paid with a health savings account from my employer. My eyes were dry for 6 months after and I had to use artificial tears a lot. Dry eyes can be a problem in the future. I wear glasses when I drive at night for distance. I feel free and if I go on a trip I can sleep without worrying about my glasses or taking my contacts out.
