Prescription sunglasses/googles with strong eye Rx? / Shop for me!

[Catrin]

Fit-over sunglasses tend to have very full coverage and are a heck of a lot cheaper than prescription sunglasses. Try TJ Maxx.

I found these online - at $30 a pop that is a LOT better than what I paid a couple of years ago for wraparound Oakleys without a bifocal!


I DO wonder how well this actually works with a helmet - it is the side pieces of the two frames that has me wondering. This is affordable enough that a couple of pair would be feasible - one with amber and other with grey lens. They have both "Sport" and "Panorama" styling, either would be fine for riding/running/etc.

I liked the looks of the panorama style on those, didn't look as bulky as what you would find in the drugstore. Thanks for the link Catrin.

I've bought glassses though not goggles from Zenni. I find they do a great job with single vision but I haven't had as good luck with bifocals/progressive lenses. My vision is as bad as the OP's plus I have astigmatism. A friend bought a pair of their goggles and is happy with them. Her vision isn't quite as bad as mine.

Thanks to this thread, I just ordered glasses from Sports Optical. They were very nice, and I am really looking forward to having glasses to ride in. Sometimes my contacts get fogged during ride to the point where I can't see, which is bad.

I also got the photocromatic because I ride in dark conditions. I basically wanted something I could use for long brevets as I think I have convinced my husband to do a SR series next year.

I'll let you know what I think when I get them.
