Though I'd start a link for shades...
Habervision;
One of my favorites...check out the bifocal lenses
www.habervision.com
Eagle Eyes;
I just got a pair after a good recommendation so I'll report back...
*Edit* (5/27/08) I got my glasses after 4 weeks. If you do buy some, spring the extra $3 for priority shipping and you can get them in a week...lesson learned. I really do like the fit and construction of these glasses. All their lens are amber(yellowish) colored, so they do cut the glare and really brighten up the shadows. Great for overcast and low light conditions but limited use for sunny days. Overall, I recommend them but you'll need another set for bright days.

Campmor;
If you know which glasses you want, this place may have them at a great discount

Smith;
Also with Rx and bifocal shades, Smith makes great sunglasses!

Costa del Mar;

I got my nike frames with prescription polarizing lenses from here
http://www.heavyglare.com/
They can pretty much do anything, but it does cost, and I'm very impressed with the lenses, and service.

Ran across this place off ebay and ordered a pair so I'll report later on the quality and durability. They have a great selection and super prices. What intrigues me is their bifocal shades...very inexpensive!

I am a big fan of Cocoons, one of Austin's premier eye Docs said he thought they were just the right thing. We get a double-dose of sun when we are out on the water so it matters there more than most places to have good eye protection. Cocoons can be bought at Cabela's , Amazon, some local opticians..looks like they are alot of places now.
Their website is http://www.cocoonseyewear.com/
and they have a utility there to help find a dealer close to you.

I got my shades in from this place...
http://www.eyewearpricedright.com/cms-display/splash.html
...and I wasn't expecting much for $20, but man , was I wrong! I've never been so happy with an online purchase. They look good, fit well, have great optics ( no distortion) hardened lens, and lightweight for a metal(alloy) framed glasses. The polarization works perfect. I'm going to order the bifocals next and will report back. Highly recommended IMHO

I got my bifocal shades in and am once again overjoyed with the product and price. These will make tying on lures a visual thing for me once again  The mag lenses are out of the line of site and dang near invisable when looking at the shades...pretty cool IMHO. I got the wrap around dark grey pair which are polorized but they do offer a copper colored lens also.
