This has been frustrating me for ages, hate contacts as i can't wear them all day and am now faced with a cycle commute 5 days a week, so 10 pairs of contacts a week is quickly going to get expensive.
Does anyone know where i can get prescription CLEAR cycling glasses near Redhill or Crawley or in that area, i've drawn a blank!
cheers

You probably won't be at work......
Optilabs in Croydon: http://www.optilabs.com/
Really good if you have a strong prescription (I'm -6.5) and a fraction of the cost of Oakley etc (and Oakley don't go that strong). I got a pair a few years ago and they transformed my riding. Before then I'd been using Adidas Gazelles and Evil Eyes with the prescription insert thing, which sort of works, but can be a pain when it's raining heavily or particularly humid.
Optilabs has a nice big showroom where you can try different styles, or they'll mail you a bunch of frames to try, then make up the lenses. Can't recommend them highly enough.
go buy a compatable pair of sports glasses and take them in to spec saver for £80.00 you can have reactor preciption lenses fitted sorted .
It's a bit more complicated than that usually - maybe speak to Specsavers beforehand to make sure the frames you're thinking of getting will accept prescription lenses.
You talking about the rx inserts? No thanks, I want proper prescription lenses, clear, in a decent wrap around it sports type glasses style. Like oakley do but preferably without the 300 pound bill!
Decide on some frames you want and call these guys to see if they can fit lenses for you.
They will be able to tell you over the phone if they've done that particular type of frame before and if you do use them for lenses, they're very cheap!
