Better control because you determine when you're wearing sunglasses and when you're not. You have absolutely no control over your Transitions lenses - they get dark when uv light hits them, and light when it doesn't. When you walk from bright daylight into a dimly lit restaurant, the lenses will take 7-10 minutes to fade. In essence, they're sunglasses for awhile when you don't want them to be sunglasses. With over-rx or clip-ons, you don't have to take off your clear Rx glasses - they both go on top of your clear glasses, and the change is immediate.
The most convenient are the magnetic clip-on sunglasses, but they're not inexpensive.

Thats what I've done. IIRC not all places carry all the lines, just like everything else.
Do you find that to be a relatively new trend, Spexx?

I've seen it a couple of times. It's disappointing when I have to tell someone that the frame they bought on line doesn't fit them or is incompatible with their Rx.
