Please tell me more.
That is one of my big problems right now. I wear contacts but don't enjoy riding in them. I prefer my prescription glasses but my sunglasses clip on those and it makes them too heavy to be comfortable.
I'm wanting something more on the Oakley style in prescription. Are they easy to find? Do I buy the glasses at the sunglasses place and take them to the eyeglass store or what!
Thank you in advance!!

Your choice of frame and lens can heavily depend on your prescription and base curve.Frends know gud humors when dey is hear it. ~ Da Crockydiles of ZZE.

Oh thanks. Sorry I'm still learning and didn't think of the search feature. I'm sure all of my questions have already been covered somewhere!

Not all the questions have necessarily been answered, but it will give you pretty good basics and then you can hone in on the specific questions.
You'll learn the most by going to the prescription lens info on the websites of the manufacturers themselves - like Smith, Action Options, Rudy Project, Oakley, etc.Frends know gud humors when dey is hear it. ~ Da Crockydiles of ZZE.

I just got my new pair of rx glasses from www.sportsoptical.com - I love them!
I have a problem with having a small face and a narrow interpupillary distance - no one wants to make wrap around glasses for me, (even Oakley wouldn't do them) even though my perscription isn't too strong. This guy does custom lenses routered to fit in any frame that you want! I even got to choose a frame that isn't normally direct Rx. (I got Smith Theory frames). Wow do I ever love them - the field of view is so wide that I hardly notice that I'm wearing them. They were kind of pricey so I had to find the frames at a really good sale price and only get one set of lenses to make it fit into my insurance, but they were well worth it. I'm thinking next year I'll go for another set of lenses, when I have more perscription money again."Sharing the road means getting along, not getting ahead" - 1994 Washington State Driver's Guide
