I will be having eye surgery again as soon as the cataract on my right eye reaches a level the doctor can perform on. Presently its not far enough along for my insurance to cover it.

Tinted glasses at any level in my state are not approved so if I go with the Oakleys, they'll be pretty much for calling games, unless I can interchange the lenses.

I would strongly suggest that you give contacts a try. Within a few days you will never want to where glasses again.

I wear contacts with dark lensed Oakley Half Jackets when I officiate. Best glases, prescription or otherwise, that I've ever had. Every so often I will officiate with my normal glasses to give my eyes a break but it's rare.

Check into industrial type safety glasses. Many of them look like wraparound sunglasses and are available in RX.

I would agree. I have had contacts for nearly 30 years. A couple years ago I injured my left eye and for 2 seasons couldn't wear contacts. Glasses drove me nuts.. Always fogging up in the cool WI fall evenings. I got back into contacts and just love them, you rarely can tell you are wearing them, and they move with you. Even with straps, glasses get jarred around enough to cause a possible miss on the field.
