My last pair of sunglasses cost me almost $800, but I have no option but to deal with a dispensing optician, and they've got you by the shorties.

I too have gone from 20/10 or better (I could once read every line on an eye chart from across the room) to needing slight, yet progressive, correction - So I need to use the magnetic clip-ons that come with my Ben Franklin style frames...
Generally - I NEVER did have the right look to wear the sunglasses on my head, etc. as I came across looking like Olympic Documentarian Bud Greenspan...

I remember once hearing about some "slight yet progressive correction" in far off places, and as I recall it was FAR less than $800....a-hem.....
