Have in mind that they're cheap quality... It may bother your eyes when you wear them.

thanks for all the info
I'm  a bit skeptic to buy online since I don't know how they will look on.

for the price your paying online, you can just buy 2-3 pairs. Chances are, one of them will fit.

Why now that the summer is approaching?
IME at least in NY I find needing sunglasses in the Winter so much more then in the summer.
I got mine at Coastal.com during a black friday deal.
I am super satisfied.

I paid $40.

I got a script from an eye Dr the week before I ordered them. They took my PD and wrote it on the script.
I got two pairs with the same information. they are both perfect.

My lenses are -6 and -5.75 So i opted to spend extra on the thinnest they offer.

according to their site coastal has a decent return policy.

I don't remember. I think you get to choose the color  of the tint.
I would choose the strongest.

My only complaint about wearing sunglasses... After a long day and driving and all I tend to get more tireD while wearing them than if I was in my reg glasses 👓.
Usually when I am on very little sleep. That may be a factor as well.
