This is a very timely topic, I've been thinking about this a lot lately.

I'm really resistant to the idea of getting contact lenses. The reason why is that I am mildly nearsighted and my vision up close for reading/computer work is just fine. I always my glasses off for near work, otherwise I get eyestrain and a headache. So, I'm constantly putting them on and taking them off, and I wouldn't want to do this for contacts. For just going on a long ride it might be worth it, but the thought of commuting to work with contacts in and then sitting in front of my computer all day just makes me want to cry.

Right now I switch back and forth between prescription glasses and prescription sunglasses when riding. The sunglasses are ok, but my glasses are more fashionable and don't provide much in the way of wind protection. I find myself almost blinded on windy days or going down long downhills - not very safe!

For other sports (dirtbiking and skiing) I had to look forever to find goggles that fit over glasses, which really limits what I can use, and there is still the limited field of vision. I don't want to purchase prescription everything for each different sport-specific eyewear, so I started googling around and found these prescription insert adapters by SportRX. Has anyone tried these?

Any suggestions?


ETA: My vision is already quite good that Lasik would probably not give me much benefit.
