On the subject of clip-on sunglasses, nowadays some brands are offering prescription glasses that work with magnetic sunglasses covers. The sunglasses cover seats flush to the prescription glasses, and just make the package marginally thicker. They really look like you are using regular sunglasses when moutned on. I am also a contact lense user, specifically on days I might use cycling sunglasses, but those magnetic sunglasses are my goto solution for everyday use. Mine are from the Afflelou Magic collection.
Here is an ad showing how it looks and works:

The good thing with those magnetic sunglasses is they don't have arms so they take very little room in a pocket or a bag and they are inexpensive so you can keep spare everywhere: house, car, office, backpack...
The only downside I could find is when you are driving a motorbike you have to think about putting your helmet visor down before you reach a certain speed, around 55-60mph (might be lower on windy days) otherwise your sunglasses might fly away. The magnet is simply not strong enough. But my main helmet has its own internal sun visor
