Prescription cycling glasses - need recommendation

[BellaMTB]

Eden, my situation sounds just like yours. I found a Smith frame I really loved that fit a small face & had interchangeable lenses, but no luck finding anyone who would make prescription inserts until I discovered Sports Optical in the back of a biking magazine. I had them make a transition lens w/ mirrored front which works great, except for very dark conditions. Anyway, I LOVE my frames and am so grateful that Sports Optical was able to make the lenses.

If anyone is interested, I have an extra set of these frames (with a complete set of the non-Rx lens colors; clear/yellow/gray) that are brand new if anyone would like to buy them at less than 1/2 price. (Smith kindly replaced my damaged "back-up" set, but only had solid black which I'm not as crazy about). Send me a pm if you're interested & I can send photos and other details.

My partner is an optician and they sell Rudy Project sunglasses. I have a pair of Rydon II ImpactX and love them!!! They have interchangable lenses and are perscription friendly here's a link if you want to check them out.

I had a pair of sport sunglasses made for me at my eye doctor's. The manufacturer is Liberty sport and the side of the frame has "F8" on it. They are transitions lenses. My prescription is very strong and I could not choose a pair with a lot of wraparound, but these have some soft plastic that come in close to my face and keep most of the wind out while allowing some ventilation. I had been having a huge problem in the past winters with serious eye irritation even on short rides. It was so bad it affected my ability to see where I was going. I had thought I would only wear these glasses for winter riding or low light levels, but I'm actually using them for every ride.
I tried a pair of oakleys and even the minimal wraparound that those had was too much with my prescription. I would say that these ones I have now more closely resemble safety glasses with a little sport added for fun. They are silver and pink. Other than the fact that I couldn't afford to have the no -line bifocals put in them, they are the best investment I have made in my sport!

Yes they are a bit expensive, but well worth it in my opinion. Luckily my partner can get a discount, but I'd buy them even if that wasn't the case.

I got my Rudy's for 40% off...so instead of the $174 price tag I paid closer to $130 (which included shipping and I think tax as well). The coupon code I used was PRODEAL, but if you do a search online, there are other codes as well.

I love them.
