When I've got my lenses in I take a pair of cheap reading glasses with me!
Contacts for me. My day to day glasses prescription is for bifocals, but ask your optician for a suitable (distance) prescription for riding a bike and you can wear any sunglasses you please......
Contacts are no-go for me too. I've got such dry eyes that even with drops, after a days riding I can't get the sods out without resorting to tweezers! (almost)
So, Rudy Project Rydons (with transition lenses) off Fleebay, £55. Some inserts, £43. Varifocal lenses from Lentoid of Otley, £85 fitted.
Dunno if thats 'cheap' but at least I can see to ride & read a map!

I have succeesfully used joakley's (DX) Jawbones and Cilary Blue
£42 for prescription riding glasses!
My prescription is -11, so I'm quite limited for glasses. I have some Rudy Project Exception which have been good, got some Rudy Project Maya earlier this year which are much less "special", I'm broadly happy with them - the UK distributor is useless though - i told my optician about them and they pretty much had to go to them and demand a pair for me.
In the future I'm not sure what me options are going to be if the current trend towards high base prescription cycling glasses is going.
Oh, and before anyone says contacts I've disucced it with my optician who's one of the pioneers in the UK, and we've come to an agreement not to go there. So i have theo everyday frames and RP for cycling.
