I'm looking for a pair which could be used on the bike without looking too out of place off the bike also. Any recommendations?

No recommendations really but I have had two pairs of prescription riding glasses from http://www.rxsport.co.uk/ and they are superb to deal with, you can do home "try outs" (for the cost of the postage). Very quick and helpful. I don't have shares 😀

Thanks for that. Like the idea of trying at home.

Optilabs for mine

Good on the bike, but less so off the bike... Although I probably chose an overly sporty frame

Good value too

I have the Adidas Evil eye. They are ok with the dark lens for Summer riding but in winter with the light polarized glass and the prescription insert, they make you look like a pervy Benny Hill. They also steam up so I am looking for another make.

What is your prescription? High powers and curved lenses don't mix well. I have Rudy Rydons with an Rx insert for my +5's

Mattbee, where did you get them from?

I need some new sunglasses. Driving with my new glasses (34 years non wearer) is hard when the light changes.

Where is good for prescription sunglasses lenses, I keep finding crosslinks the have clear lenses.

Tricky,
what prescription are those? Im +3.5 but curved lenses in the past have been a little boggly eyed for me.

Yep, Ciliary Blue for the win with frames of your choice. In my case, £7 frames from Mountain Warehouse 🙂

I've previously used rxsport before for some oakley black irdium prescription glasses (which were amazing i have to say). But I lost them :(. Couldn't afford the £330 again so went for some £60 lenses from ciliary blue

Cheap option is Zenni. I have these (in a non sunglasses version, I might get some tinted ones for the summer): http://www.zennioptical.com/292912-plastic-full-rim-frame.html
No problems with strong prescriptions, I have -6 or so.
