Looking for a few recommendations for places to buy sunglass style frames suitable for ciliaryblue to reglaze with prescription lenses.

What frames have you got, where from and what do you think of them? Which ones are good for stopping flying mud/steaming up?

Did you get reaction lenses? Are they worth it over a normal pair and a tinted pair for sunny days?

Appreciated...thanks 🙂

P.S I know there was a thread last week although I can't find it, however it wasn't specifically about frames suitable for Ciliaryblue, just some comments mentioning it. There was a link to some frames that had foam around them to make them a close fit to the face...

I have just received a pair, the next step is to send them off to Ciliaryblue

Got some Oakley Racing jackets with Ciliary Blue lenses.
Took a couple of attempts to get them fitted correctly but now excellent.
At the time bought a set of clear and a set of dark.
Cost me 80 quid.
A relative bargain compared to Oakley!
Think I bought the frames of American EBay and sold the lenses in them so didn't cost a lot.
Thanks,
Max

Am sending off some Bolle Tracker safet spec to be reglazed, not opted for reaction lenses of the 1st pair.
Did try to get some idea of what glasses they could do but they just said - "ones with separate left and right lenses".
I'll update on what they say about the Trackers

The Bolle Trackers I mentioned above have now been reglazed and are waiting at the sorting office for me to go and collect.
Will post up when I've had a look at / through them!

I just went to Decathlon, found some glasses that suited me, popped the lenses out, sent them off to ciliaryblue and got them back a few days later. I got the reaction lenses and they work well. I think frame + lenses cost me about £40 in the end.

What mattrgee said, except replace 'Decathlon' with 'dodgy Greek sunglasses vendor whilst on holiday'.

Ok, so I've tied the CB reglazed glasses a few times and I'm pretty sure the prescription is wrong. Things seem a bit further away than if I switch to my usual specs.
Emailed them a couple of days back but heard nothing yet.

One thing to watch for, potentially, is what I think happened to mine.

The lenses weren't curved quite enough to fit the frame, so upon fitting I have to add a litle more curve. This has a slight effect on the prescription, but it's nothing major in my case.
