I can't be the only one that has this problem.
I've now gone through four pairs of mid price glasses. The problem I'm getting is that when I'm on the bars and my head is not 100% upright the top section of rim is right in the line of vision.
If I try them on, the tops of cycling glasses are way bellow my eyebrows.
I tried my best fitting pair on Sunday and had neck ache within minutes.
And some of them when veiwed through make me feel twenty foot high?
Dennis Taylor style ones?
Adjust the nose rest things.
Is this on your road bike? and are they 'normal' prescription glasses? I've got a pair of Optilabs specs, and they are pretty good for not making you feel 20ft high. I forgot them last weekend and had to wear my old Adidas Gazelles with inserts, and the tunnel vision effect was really quite strong. The inserts are fairly small, so you have to move your entire head to see something, which sounds and *is* quite weird. The Optilabs specs have the prescription right out to the edge of the frame, and improved my riding no end. I'm guessing other, similar specs would do the same, too.
The Dennis Taylor thing is a bit extreme but I'm obviously having the same sort of problem.
All my glasses have a soft rubbery cushion sort of bridge that edge the glasses, so I can't lift them.
