I have the Wiley X Slydes Rx transitions. Had them made at optics planet. Also had the lenses tinted with a light gray 1 to darken them in the day and yet they are still very clear at night. Check them for prices on any glasses you choose and the customer service was great.

+1 I have the Diablo.. I'm not crazy on the look, but they work great! they are bright at night and dark enough during the day to satisfy me... except riding into the sunset, over all I think they're pretty damn good

Uvex. Cheap, safety glasses with changeable lenses.

I use polarized sunglasses with bifocals. Get them at, where else, Wal-Mart in the fishing section.

I run with wiley x and they are the best I have used. They can be a little pricey, but I only have one set of eyes. Make sure whatever you run with is shatter proof not just resistant. If you can swing for polarized it is worth it.

Count me as another vote for Wiley-X. I have two pairs in prescription - one blue mirror and one yellow. I took a rock in the left lense on I-95 over Labor Day weekend and all it did was make a small chip. I would rather not experience a rock in the eye with cheap sunglasses. Like my old welding teacher used to say about safety glasses, "Son, TWO eyes is a luxury."

I ride with Rayban's but it's because they fit my face PERFECT and I use them for non-riding also. I've heard many good things about Wiley X's too! It's what fits your face and what the use will be. I suggest polarized lenses for sure!
