Pre-takeoff checklist
New pilot, but I've been wearing some sort of eyewear in the field and at ranges in the Marine Corps for 23 years, so I've been through a lot of glasses. For the last couple of years I have been wearing inexpensive 3M safety glasses with flat flexible temples, and I decided to give them a try in the airplane because my regular glasses are only comfortable with a headset for about 30 minutes. The 3M glasses were extremely comfortable;they're light, inexpensive, and not polarized so no interference with iPad/flat avionics displays. (Yes, I realize I sound like a 3M salesman. I promise you I'm not-- no relation to the company whatsoever.)
These are the ones I have in case anyone is interested. Best of all, under $10 on Amazon right now. http://www.amazon.com/3M-47011-WV6-Eyewear-Scratch-Resistant/dp/B00OI6E85U/ref=sr_1_1?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1449852746&sr=1-1&keywords=3m+flat+temple+safety
