    Did you try a search? You'll find a lot of info.

    Much depends on your prescription due to the base curve.

    I don't know much about this but a friend of mine just had prescription sunglass lenses made for Rudy Project frames.

    I'm a big fan of Smith sunglasses. Mine aren't prescription, but I have looked at them. I have a pair from the Slider series that I use now. Expensive, but well worth the money.

    Check out www.sportrx.com. My hubby just ordered some cycling ones from there.

    Visor?

    I just bought a visor

    It's hard to put the clasps on the helmet, they are supposed to stick, but don't, so you have to hold in place while gluing. Once you get through that, though, it's pretty slick.
    The dark gray isn't as dark as my sunglasses, but the shield protects more of the face and I can wear my prescription glasses, so I think the visor is a keeper.
    Also might be more aerodynamic, if you care about that sort of thing.

    Which of the two on that page did you buy- the visor or the face shield?

    I just bought some Tifosi glasses for my DH. He loves them, but has terrible eyes, so had to get special lenses to do the wrap. I believe he is very pleased. The frames are very reasonable, but the lenses were expensive.

    The face shield, guess I wasn't very clear!
    I thought about getting the visor, but didn't - I meant the shield. It comes in different darknesses and goes over the eyes as a sun/wind shield.
    So far, still like it.

    (Actually, I was perfectly clear in a completely wrong way - I clearly said visor and totally didn't mean visor)
