Do sunglasses distort your vision?

I've never noticed it, but I do find it annoying when sweat drips
onto the lenses.

glasses significantly alter my depth perception. Is this normal?

Are they the right prescription?

The prescription on sunglasses should be the same as the
prescription on regular clear glasses.

First of all, I think you'll find that they are designed to be used one
at a time. So, if you're wearing both at once, take one of them off.

The serious answer is - did you buy them at a garage forecourt (AmE
"gas station"😉? If so, they're not likely to be very good - will
probably have sub-optimal UV protection, and the lenses may be [censored].
On the other hand, if they're branded shades then they should NOT alter
your depth perception - they should be optically neutral. However, you
might find that wearing them in shady or murky light will change how
much you can actually see.

Sunglasses definitely distort vision.

When I wear them, joggers seem likeable.

I think that's your tin foil hat, not the glasses.

Because of that I tried contacts, but they didn't work for me.
