Are your clothes suppose to match your bike?

Cool

How does it work with oakley. My rudyproject has some kind of small frame for the perscription lenses to be fitted in. And this frames fits behind the sunglass part. But the perscription frame does not really fit well behind the sunglass part.

The lens contains the actual prescription and it is the actual Oakley colored lens. It can't be done for everyone. People with real high magnification needs can't have an Oakley.

For people who don't need a prescription, they have it easy. They can just walk into REI and buy something that will do. However I need to wear glasses all the time. When I wear my glasses when I bike, on some days I have real uncomfortable problems. In winter, the sun is low on the horizon. The sun comes in behind my lens and bounced back into my eyes and blinds me, even though I wear transitions. And the glasses slide around on my face, dropping lower, and I end up peering out over the top of the glasses at critical times, like going fast down a steep hill because I don't want to take a hand off the bar to nudge the glasses back up.

I should say I wear bifocals, but for the Oakleys, the lens will be just for distance.

Also, the color of lens you pick is important, and has to do with how much light or changes of light you encounter on your rides.

Is high more then let's say -2? (I have -4,5 and a cilinder deviation of 1)
But still could that they can make it in the actual lens. I choose to wear contact because with normal perscription glasses the glass kept getting dirty on the inside (sweat) and clouding my vision when the sun was shining into my eyes.

I would get your prescription printed out, and ask for a referral to an optometrist who has a specialty in sports glasses. There are other brands besides Oakley, and maybe because you are in the Netherlands you get entirely different brands from what is available in the USA. I was told by the lady who sold me the two Oakley glasses that the lens can't take a prescription higher than 5-6.

If it works for you to wear contacts, then continue wearing the contacts and get a good pair of cycling glasses with an appropriate color lens for your light conditions, and you won't have to put the prescription into the lens.

I am really looking forward to getting my cycling glasses, to have it fit tight up against my eye sockets and around my face, with no light leaking in and around, and the glasses not slipping down my nose when my head is angled downwards.

For anyone reading this who is a cyclist in the USA, the optometrist told me that getting a pair of prescription cycling glasses is a medical deduction on the taxes, so save your receipt.
