Prescription cycling glasses?

[MommyBird]

I have Oakley Radars in hot pink and I love them.
I am surprised at how often I hear "love your glasses" comments.

Why?
1) They are very loud (I wanted the red iridium lenses, which look pink, in a white frame but could not get them in prescription, so I opted to go with the pink frame)
2) They drill out the center of the normal lens and the prescription lens is an inset. This looks a bit odd. You can see it in the ads but you can't really tell exactly how they are constructed until you see the real deal.

How well does it work?
Great!
I have a large area of unobstructed yet protected vision due to the large wrap-around frames.
You must line them up properly or you get a bit of distortion from the abrupt change from corrected to uncorrected lens. This is not at all difficult to fix. It only happens when I am in a rush to get on the bike. My husband always gets ready faster than me!

There is a limit in the prescription range and you may have to be flexible. The size of the lens and curve complicate the process.

My husband wears one contact and regular sunglasses and he is happy with that. I am one of those people who cannot wear contacts, so I have to use corrected sunglasses.

Good luck on your hunt.

I love my corrected Oakleys too.

I have another pair of non-corrected ones that I wear with contacts for short rides to the store so that I can see when I get there.

I recommend Rudy Project's. I have a pair and they are quite expensive for the RX but it's worth the investment. I have the Rydon Model with their photochromatic impactx lense. They were the best bang for my buck since I'm in college. I used them on a tour this summer and was very satisfied with them.
