I've spent my entire career at microscopes and have taken care of my eyes 
(don't understand people who don't use filters when looking through a 
microscope).  I've always taken care of my eyes.  I drive in Serengetis, 
fish in Smiths and Costas.  I have no worries bicycling in Smiths.

Also, Maui Jim absolutely stands behind their products – my wife, who is very 
hard on sunglasses, has gotten at least three replacement pairs free from MJ in 
circumstances where the could certainly have raised a beef, but did not.  Very 
good customer service, and very, very nice products.

No financial or other interest of any kind in MJ.

I really like my Oakley Frogskins. They have a traditional look that’s also a 
bit modern, and the lenses and overall quality are very good. Only downside is 
that they’re a bit pricey.

Thanks for all the suggestions; much to follow up on. The comments on UV
protection lead me to believe that it might be best to buy a brand name.

I've got a pair of Tifosi transitional lens shades that were cheap (~$35)
at Nashbar and they're fine. I see that this marque is often on sale in the
N catalogue. Question: Do these have adequate UV protection? How does one
know?

If Tifosi is a good choice, does anyone have suggestions for the best
Tifosi model?

(I want 2 pairs because one is always somewhere else when I need it.)

Thanks again.

I've had good luck with Sunclouds. They're a sub-brand of Smith, the lens 
quality is really good, and they tend to be pretty light and comfortable in 
my opinion. I don't really trust the UV protection on the cheap knockoffs. 
REI sells them, as well as lots of internet vendors.

Jim, I couldn't agree more.  It is your EYES!  Patrick, you already had 
cataract surgery so you know your eyes are vulnerable.  Protect them!  
By-the-way, your replacement lens implants have UV protection built in.  
Your primary focus now should be wind, dust and general debris protection.  
But don't cheap out.   Quality is always worth it in the long run.  I opted 
for a pair of Maui Jim's.  Not only do they protect they actually enhance 
vision.  Mine cost a couple hundred bucks but they've held up to daily use 
for almost three years and they are still going strong.

What size head?  Small, normal, large, XL or HUGE like myself?

 Brand name or lack of it no problem. Just conservative look, UV and wind 
 blocking, decent hinges and nose pieces. 

 Prefer *not too dark.*

 The optometrist who checked my eyes at the 1 and 2 month (left and right 
 respectively) cataract surgery post op dates said that UV exposure risks 
 macular degeneration, which sounds bad even if I have no idea what it is.

 Thanks.
