Stellist and sunglasses for kids?

Our kiddo recently got these glasses. He has been doing the drops for a couple years and while we will never know if they are slowing down what otherwise would have been worse, they don’t seem to be working that well.

Does Stellist make any kind of sunglass lens? He plays baseball and will be doing baseball camp outdoors much of the summer, and really likes wearing sunglasses. I see an ad for Rayban pop ons compatible with Stellist lenses but no idea where to get them (and we just bought different glasses as our first try with the lenses so…). The optometrist at our ophthalmologist is not especially knowledgable.

Know you are supposed to wear the Stellist 12 hours a day but wondering how big of a deal it is — ie will this totally eliminate it from working or will it decrease the effectiveness. I know being outside is also important so trying to balance this.

we are also considering the contacts but he’s a little young. Does anyone combine contacts at night with Stellist glasses during the day? Or would that not work because of how it changes your eye overnight?

Thanks!
