Regarding eye glasses and sunshine and OUCH...check out the type of sunglasses that fit over your regular prescription glasses. One type is called cocoons and another is called fit overs. Both are online, let me know if you have problems finding them if you decide to look into that option. Another tip I have is don't get transition lenses. That's when you get lenses in your regular glasses that change to sunglasses when you are in sunlight. They just don't block enough light, and are not effective in a car, so I don't think they are a good choice.
Best wishes for a speedy recovery!
