Does anyone know of one? Maybe one which can be adapted?

I dont really want to spend £200+ on the proper lense

Just send them to these guys and get them to glaze them.  It won't be close to £200.

Google says this.

Inserts are the best. Get a nice collection of lenses in different colours and only need to change one prescription. I don't have the Oakley by the way.

I ran a set of M Frames with an optical insert for a while.

I found it a load of crap. Heavy enough to feel, spaced out the main lens from your face and makes it & the frame really noticeable.Lets loads of dust/wind past but not enough to clear the almost constant fogging that occurred between the 2 lenses.

A pair of Revision Sawfly performed slightly better as the insert was a better shape but still fogged up way too easily.

Either contact lenses or choose a pair of glasses that can be directly glazed.

@matbee

You could try Rudy Project. I've had a pair of Rydons with an RX insert from RXSport for several years and prescriptions. No issues with optics, fogging, comfort, or weight.

I like the look of the Rydons and love my growing collection of lenses, which would be much more expensive glazed.

I even use mine on vacation.

Weirdly i quite like glasses with the optical insert its just i wanted something a bit bigger like the jawbreakers

Im not a fan of contacts however if its wet i dont really have much choice as the inserts steam up

My experience of inserts with m frames was the same as mattbee.

my mate used some inserts in rudy projects at the same time, he was a lot happier with his.

but, c/l ftw, you can wear anything then.
