Prescription cycling glasses

[AdrianS]

With my hay fever taking off now, I cannot wear my contact lenses and need to get some prescription cycling sunglasses.
Any recommendation’s? Probably need close fitting glasses to prevent pollen getting to my eyes!

I got a pair of Oakleys, prescription lenses (Including varifocal so I can see my speed & map!) not cheap but they'll see me out! Cheers, John B

I'd go with Oakey..

I am now on my second set, albeit not cycling glasses. Original set is from 2014. Weirdly. I can still see fairly clearly, despite prescription having changed. I keep them for my work related, driving, etc as now a bit scabby.
The new set, I have ordered through John Lewis Optitians (operated by David Clulow) had set me back £430. They had a sale on at the time, plus points on spend when using JL Credit Card but. I know it sounds expensive, but Oakley optics are very good, and I know that next (minimum 5 years) will be sorted.
Polarised lenses make a huge difference too... prevents squinting in strong sun light.

What he said above
Also the lenses can be changed if your prescription changes markedly and the frames probably last forever! Cheers, John B

Wrap around prescription lenses don't work!

Whilst looking in the straight ahead position should be OK (provided the optical centre of the lenses are directly in line with your view), they otherwise suffer from strong spherical aberrations, and the stronger your prescription, the worse they will be.

Mine seem to, use wrap around Oakley prescription sun glasses no problems. My optician did warn me that including a varifocal prescription can cause problems though, so I do without for my riding glasses.

I’ll look at the Oakley ones.
