>"If someone is willing to wear contacts I can't see why they wouldn't just don sunglasses" That was actually my primary reason for trying out contacts; I wanted to be able to wear affordable sunglasses, and not have to keep around a case if I needed to change back to my regular glasses. Not having to worry about fogging would be a huge benefit as well. There is no actual good sunglasses solution for people who uses glasses, outside of carrying around a separate pair of prescription sunglasses. Unfortunately, I just couldn't get used to the contact lenses, even after a month of trying all of the various types, from complete basic to the fancy high-end silicone. I had no troubles putting them in and taking them out, but my eyes would be irritated and tired around mid-afternoon, no matter what. I also realized that my subscription (-0.75/-1.00) is basically perfect for computer work if I take off my glasses, so consequently I hardly ever wear them indoors. With contact lenses, I would negate that benefit and have to constantly focus, giving me headaches after a couple of hours. Obviously I could correct that back with a pair of +1.00 reading glasses, but that does seem a bit silly, really. So yeah, if I wore contacts, I would definitely just use a pair of cheap (UV-rated, obviously) sunglasses and not worry too much about them. These color-changing lenses seem too expensive and have too many downsides.
