Dark sun shades or cheap sun glasses?

I seen an add for gro-vision performance shades to protect our eyes while in the grow room and those intense lights. Maybe a good thing, anyone using them, or another brand? What can you tell the rest of us about the shades you chose?

I use a wrap around type from eye hortilux they were free they work great .I was running hps and switched to cmh and when that cmh goes over you it blinds you with out the glasses ,and with the glasses it can go right by and you would never know except for the smell of burning hair thats right I was leaning over to trim the way back of my sgrog and the light went directly over my head and it singed my hair ,it was a WTF moment for me I dont have any hair to spare lol

Howdy Rwise, I just have a UV coating on my regular glasses and this does seem to reduce the eye strain. I use CFLs in my grows, but the do cause some eye strain, I imagine that HPS, MH, and LEDs are more harmful to the eyes than the CFLs. I would recommend some eye protection to prevent damage to the eyes.

I will be getting something, our eyes are very important!
