Prescription cycling glasses - need recommendation

[smilingcat]

Eden posted the links a number of times and she was kind enough to send me the link (again some time ago). So to spare her the time of writing here it is. www.sportsoptical.com

I've contacted them and been really lazy about getting them after my last pair broke about 6 month ago. I just wear my regular prescription and just put up with the light condition on my regular glasses. I'm planning on going with them. Tad expensive but what am I going to do...

As for bifocal or not? my last riding glasses were for distance only. With the riding glasses on, I couldn't read my computer even with the LARGE numbers. I kept on having to push up/down the glasses to read and push up/down again for riding. I'm going with bifocal next time.

I like the rose tint for riding. Amber is great in heavy overcast since it helps with the contrast but I hate in the bright sun. Rose tint seems okay in bright light but still okay when it gets darker out like when there is a thundershower or dusk. Do ask around though.

One of the e-mail I received from them:

Hi *****,
We can certainly make progressive (no-line!) bifocals for you. We would need to send you the frame, have you adjust it and then mark where your pupils sit. Your eye dr can certainly fax us the Rx, or you can just email or call us with it. Whatever is easiest---Transitions we can make, however if your eyes are very light sensitive it might not be the best way to go. I would love to talk to you more about lens options for color and what you do...what time you need them, where you live....etc. That will all be a factor in what lenses are best.

Everything is a custom order, so it does take 3-4 weeks.....

Hope that helps and we look forward to hearing from you,
Thanks,
randi
