Just need to find something that is comfy, polarized and affordable. No brand names are necessary.
I got a pair at the Route 66 Casino truck stop for around $20.
Reducing glare just means - polarized. Nothing more.
Just make sure the lenses and/or coatings don't distort your view. Hold them up and look through them as you move them around. If you see things shifting and waving around, they are too poor quality. -
Ray Ban, expensive but can buy at Ebay for about $40.

Over here all I wear is Wiley X. Driving back home Serengeti s are the best I have used by far. Used to buy them at Sam's at huge discount over specialty shops.

Oakley Oil Rigs....my fave so far.

Jackson Nemesis. I've used them on construction sites for years and they are cheap. I use the dark ones for day driving and the clear ones for night. They come in many colors and are ANSI Z87.1+ certified.

As an aside, avoid the shade #5 welding glasses for driving lol. Red lights will appear to be black or off. -

I also wear prescription glasses, but to cheap to by a second pair of prescription sun glasses. So my eye clinic gave me a pair of the ( old people sun glasses) you know the ones you can wear over your presciption frames. They are quite stylish ( not) but they do block out all bright light and glare and are quite comfortable to wear, and the best part they where free !
