None of us wear anything because, as pilots, we're immune to eye damage from sunlight.

I fly a S35 Bonanza, I find the polarized, high contrast lenses cut through the haze of the gulf south much better than non-polarized lenses. I have over 4,500 hrs SEL, hadn't hit anything yet

Nothing polarized. Usually just Ray Bans. Hopefully getting a new pair of AOs this weekend.

I have a Bonanza V 35b. I wear Maui Jim sun readers

They probably close their eyes while they sleep.

Randolph Aviator sunglasses are military issue, but most pilots I know wear a really good pair of polarizing sunglasses
Never wear polarized lenses when flying. They distort and make it difficult to read the gauges when on instruments.
