No, I use my opticians. In fact I’m going there in half an hour to pick up my Rudy Projects which have been back for some rework.

I haven’t but I can recommend http://www.theinternetopticians.co.uk who I have used twice for prescription Oakley sunglasses and http://www.pretavoir.co.uk/ who I have used once for prescription Oakley “normal” glasses.

I have used these guys without any problems …

anyone use vari-focals sports glasses? I’m long sighted and its a pain if I’m using a gps, trail side repairs, fiddling with a GoPro or phone (ie I’ve got to rummage in the camelback for a set of old reading glasses for close up work). I’d love a set of vari-focal sports glasses.

edit:

Such lenses are not recommended for sports use.

from sportsprescriptionglasses.co.uk. Answers that question.

Optilabs have a varifocal option on thier cycling glasses. I wear vari focals riding my bike sometimes and can’t see a problem.

Does this cause you to crash?

Only the big ones.

Well, I picked up my cycling glasses today. They’d replaced the frame, sent the prescription lenses back to be recut and didn’t charge me a penny.
And we’re organising a cycle ride for late spring.
Beats internet shopping for me.

I would avoid varifocals on sports glasses, and definately not if you order online.
The optics of a curved lens means varifocals don’t work. Also they need to be measured by someone sat in front of you.
There is a one mm margin of error. Can’t be done by guess work.
You could get away with bifocals, but make sure you get the optician to calculate the correct working distance for viewing your gps.
