If we wear glasses.. do they have to be specific brand? Or can I get my brand approved by flight doc? Recently bought some prescription Maui Jim Aviators and they were expensive to say the least.

I don't know the AFI answer. But no one has time to worry or care about what you are wearing in flight. Assuming your MJ's are polarized, that creates some "issues" with looking at the cockpit display (or so I'm told) and is probably forbidden.
If you are getting ready to go to UPT, you will be wearing a helmet through the T-6 phase. I would not subject my expensive MJ's to that (nevermind the polarization issue).
Get some gov't freebies. They don't look like much, but they work ok.
And the price is right.
