I am newbie but I'm preparing to start riding this summer. I wear prescription glasses and was looking at getting a pair of prescription goggles made here.

I got tired of carrying sunglasses/goggles to fit all occasions and went with the retro shield for my Bell 500. Now, I can just wear sunglasses during the day and put them away when the sun goes down.
I broke down a couple years ago and bought some transitional glasses from the stealer. I REALLY like the fact one does both. Granted, they do not darken as much as a "fixed" lens, though only have to carry one pair.
After smashing, breaking, and dismembering a number of clear and tints while in my pockets- I came to the conclusion it would be cheaper to buy a pair of transitions.

Half helmet and dress for the occation.. Sunglasses for day and yellow lens glasses for night or even clear safety glasses. I think it depends on how sensitive your eyes are to the wind if you need regular shades or a pair with foam on the edges.

In the Winter I wear a 3/4 helmet with clear shield and sunglasses underneath if needed. I the summer I wear a 1/2 helmet and have a pair of HD glasses with interchangeable frames that work fine. I did go with the pair that has foam edges just to keep my eyes from drying out.
