I carry clip-ons in both yellow and brown with me for that exact reason.

If you can find a set cheap (and perhaps they still make knock-offs),
the old "Porsche Design" aviator-style sunglasses are a good
alternative. The nose bridge lifts up as to make the lens
interchangeable, and there were a wide variety of interchangeable lens
available. Plus, you can (or at least could - like Ray Ban frames) have
prescription lenses made for them with various coatings. I looked on
ebay and it appears that they have become "vintage" (and pricey - I saw
a pair up to $200.00USD, which seems a bit more than what they were new
back in the 70s and 80s, IIRC), but I've seen them at charity sales,
etc. for $5.00 or less.
