New glasses time.
I use occupational lenses for day to day. However, I'm not enjoying riding in them and my longer vision is what's changed this time (particularly one eye).
6 years ago I got a cheaper first pair from independent local opticians - uncomfortable to wear as the bridge was too narrow and they were only close work. Within a few months I spent more on occupational lenses (Nikon) in some more comfy frames branded Converse. £220.
A few years ago I used Vision Express on the recommendation of a friend and spent £350 on what have been poor lenses (yellow, narrow field of view, really mark easily, coating now failed) and shonky Tommy Hilfiger branded frames.
I've bounced back to a local independent. However I'm baulking at £580(!) for lenses and another £120-250 for some branded frames that don't feel as well made as my unbranded frames..
Where to look for glasses that balance quality and not silly price?
Also, I have some decent Julbo Renegade sunglasses, one pair with photochromic lenses. I would like to keep the frames and get new lenses, ideally with the photochromic finish. Any suggestions?
TLDR: where to go for decent lenses at reasonable price, and can I get Julbo prescription lenses for my Renegades?
