But I'm wondering what your take is on transitions lenses VS prescription sun glasses? Are the transitions lenses as effective as they claim? Or are most folks better off keeping a separate set in the car for driving?

I have transitions and like them for the most part. Like others I can't be bothered to carry around a pair of sunglasses and keep swapping back and forth.
Here's the downside to transitions that a lot of people don't consider: I am roughly -6 in both eyes and therefore choose frames with smaller lenses to minimize the thickness on the edges. As a result transitions don't become very good sunglasses - they darken nicely but there's just not a lot of surface coverage.
I'm due for new glasses soon and will probably get transitions again, but this time I'll also get clip-ons for driving and just keep them on the visor. Seems like the most convenient solution.
