I would buy a polorised pair of sun glasses.
For me I have react-a-lights with an anti-glare coating, these are perscription glasses though.

Polarised glasses are supposed to be the best when looking at glass. Well thats what the sunglasses women said to me! Not sure if its true or not.

Also I would buy the best quality pair you can afford (I have Oakley's) as when I use to work in Africa I had a crap pair and damaged my eyes..

ive had a pair of £3 superdrug sunglasses for 3 years still going strong!!black plastic.

no point buying a pair of expensive ones as youll prob end up breaking them and youll be gutted if you paid £100+ for a pair!! :P ::) ;D ;D

hi

look in argos catalogue or online in fishing section sure they have 2 pairs usually £15-£30

had the cheaper pair thought were good, always breaking em.

get the ties that tie round end of arms on sunglasses from opticians, so can dangle on chest if fall off.

sorry forgot to add fishing glasses are polarised.

also find   BLOC   a good make, ski-ing sports brand not silly dear prices, can get a pair for £30,

polarised would be dearer.
