> Is it actually a good idea to have and wear sunglasses, or is this just upsell?

I've heard 2 views on this, one that it a bad idea, and if you do you risk going blind, and two, that it is a good idea, and if you don't you risk going blind. Personally I never cross my doorstep without my sunglasses and a brolly to hand (surprising the numbers of days I end up using both). However, I'm a great believer in good quality sunglasses. Most fashionable brands are rubbish and over-priced, and cheap ones really are bad for you. I go for ones that are aiming to sell into a sports market, such as my current faves Sundog. Not an issue however if you are getting prescription lenses.

I could experiment and have one lens darkened.

I'd get spectacles which had colourless UV protection.

Yeah, the problem with the cheap ones is that they' don't necessarily filter out any UV, while encouraging your pupils to open further.

Me, I wear sunglasses a lot because I tire quickly of squinting. It's especially helpful when driving, too.
