PPL Prescription sunglasses.

Hi all, first post by a newbie which contains what I hope isn't an oft-repeated question on this forum.

About to start my PPL with Air First at Blackbushe. Been reading about the Class 2 medical and as I wear glasses I found reference to a need to buy prescription sunglasses for flying. I can see why this would be useful on those rare days when the sun's out and you're flying toward it early or late in the day, but I can't find confirmation about it.

Is it standard procedure or an absolute requirement to have them?

Thanks for any help / confirmation!
