    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.
