varifocals, at a cost of £600
Really? Is that for the glasses as well? My varifocal lenses are the best quality available and super thin from a private optician. The lenses were £300.
^^^^ depends on prescription though. Mine is -6.5 with astigmatism and high quality thin varifocal lenses are about £500 a pair, frames on top of that...
^^^^mine are +5.75 with 3.25 astigmatism in both eyes. So a rather high prescription for me too but still only £300 for high quality varifocals.
Maybe short sighted prescriptions are more expensive than long sighted?
With Ciliary Blue, can you take it as read that they can do lenses for any removable lens glasses? Or is there a chance that you find something you like and they say nope? I keep meaning to get a prescription pair for short rides.
They'll give it a go generally, had a pair of cheap polaris glasses they couldn't do because of the sweep, but they happily did me a pair of bolle spiders, I am only -2.75/-2.75 with a slight astigmatism now, I think the more extreme your prescription the tougher it is for them to accommodate in a curved lens, they're good at responding to noddy questions by email so if in doubt ask them, worst they can say is no...
It's a cheap experiment £10 frame + £15 for their most basic lenses, if you don't get on with them, it's not a biggy, if they work then no need to chance your posh glasses on the bike...
