Show your on stage glasses

IMO most people don't wear shades on stage but some wear what appear to be prescription or polarized glasses. I would like to see what you guys are wearing on stage.
I currently don't but if I see something cool, I may give it a go. This is the kind of thing I think of in my idle time. Stuff that really doesn't matter and has a low stress level.
So lets see em! Live shots would be great!

I saw that thread but was wanting photos of TBers live with their shades/glasses. Too much time on my hands today.

I don't wear shades on stage for an important reason: I like to SEE. I wear my regular glasses.

yeah contact here as well, I hate wearing glasses on stage. As soon as I start sweating, they start riding down my nose and it gets annoying as heck.

Do beer goggles count? I've got good vision but somehow I see things differently when I'm a few drinks into the gig.

Man, I can not stand 1000w par cans burning my retinas for 4 hours a night.

I am going to continue to wear the darkest pair of Ray Bans I can get my hands on and stare at my left hand all night. I don't care how detached and Entwisle-like it makes me appear.

I have a different reason. I have this chrinic problem with tired baggy looking eyes and I am really self aware of this. Had a photographer come out last weekend and take some awesome shots. I just hate my worn out old man eyes but I don't want to look like a goof wearing shades on stage.
I suppose that was my honest reason for posting this today. I was just looking for something that maybe wasn't dark sunglasses but could pass for cool looking scripts. Masking my insecurity. I know I should just get over it but I would feel alot better. Any suggestions or comments on this would be greatly appreciated.

Here is your solution: Get the weirdest, craziest, most obnoxious glasses you can find and wear those (make sure they are dark though). Then people will automatically know that you're not trying to look cool or anything, you're just messing around having a good time.

I'd either have my contacts, my glasses or, if I'm going for the lulz, reflective aviators
