Question about sunglasses for post-retinal detachment surgery
I had operations for retinal detachment on both eyes in 2019, having had the lenses in both eyes replaced in separate operations, ten years apart, some years before that, and have also had cataract surgery.
Because the lenses in my eyes were replaced separately, at different times, and also in different countries, they don't have the same focus. One of the lenses on my spectacles is quite a bit thicker than the other.
I take care to wear sunglasses almost every time I'm out in the sun, but they're overglasses. Those are fine up to a point, but I also cycle a lot. I've been told I won't be able to get prescription sunglasses, because apparently my prescription is unusual, but I'd like a second opinion on that, if anyone's willing to give it to me: overglasses are fine, and some of them look pretty good, but I really need something more suited to long-distance cycling, which is a passion of mine.
I've put my prescription below. If anyone's able to give me advice, or tell me that I should in fact stick with the overglasses, I'd really appreciate it.
