eye glasses sun glasses problem?

Im 16 and i have astigmatism. I have horrible vision and cannot do anything without my eye glasses. Thats a problem because I cant wear sunglasses, and i want to wear sun glasses to the beach. I dont want to use contacts because I cant swim in them. Is there anything i can do? Thanks.

    You can get prescription sunglasses to correct vision, just like your regular glasses. If you want to go to the beach, I would recommend getting polarized lenses for your sunglasses. It's going to reduce the glare that's reflected off the water. I've had polarized and nonpolarized sunglasses, and it's definitaly worth the extra money.

    And Ty: It's astigmatism. not "a stigmatism"

    um....

    What do you mean 'you can't wear sunglasses'? Is it coz you physically can't wear them or you mean normal (non Rx) sunglasses?

    Get prescription sunglasses at www.replacementlensexpress.com. They are not expensive (just $25 for the prescription lenses and $12 for the tint) and they do lots of custom work. So shoot an e-mail to the optician and tell him your specific needs: info@replacementlensexpress.com. Good Luck!!
