Joe,
My standard pair of glasses has polycarbonate lens which block almost all UV
much better than sunglasses. It's is also extremely resistant to impact and
provides maximum eye protection that way too. I also got the largest (non
fashionable) polycarbonate lens I could get to prevent leakage around the
edges...
Best,
Edgar
