Huh?! I've only discovered transition lenses a handful of years ago, but once I tried them, I've never looked back. I used to have a problem with glare and too much sunlight when out and about. I can't wear sunglasses either (since I already wear prescription eyeglasses), and thus transition lenses were a great help.

Can't you buy prescription sunglasses?

Hmm, I haven't really explored that option. I used to wear contact lenses though, and used them with sunglasses. But I found wearing contact lenses kinda finicky, so I gave up on them. I've also heard of those clip-on sunglasses, but along with prescription sunglasses, I find the idea of bringing an extra pair of glasses to be annoying. But then again, I could probably just put them in my bag and forget about them until they're needed.

But yeah, I'm pretty much happy with my transition lenses that every glasses I've had ever since my optician recommended them to me were all transitions. I'm just wondering why they've got such hate from others.
