That is what I tried to do two years ago, but as it turned out I can't wear them. We tried every kind of contacts available, but I just can't see. For some types I couldn't even see my computer screen let alone anything else. I wanted to make that work so badly, but it didn't. I am sure that dry eyes contributed to it, but I had also tried it when I was still in my 30's and that didn't work out well either.

For now I will just go with my Oakleys another year for riding/driving. I do want to eventually go with riding glasses that are progressives so that when I wear them for hiking I can actually SEE things...like flowers, birds, etc. The Tifosi glasses are attractive, but I already have single vision cycling sun glasses. My prescription has changed a bit, but my eyes don't complain when switching from my new glasses with the stronger astigmatism/far distance prescription so that tells me the change probably isn't that large...

So far only Maui Jim's appear to support my full prescription in a wrap-around frame - and that is only using digital lenses...I could buy another bike for what they cost "Normal" lenses for wrap-around frames won't support my full astigmatism prescription...
