Photochromic prescription direct lens wrap around cycling glasses?

What I’d really like is for my Jublo Fury’s to have a prescription in them…but that doesn’t seem an option.

I was born partially sighted in my left eye but my right one has always been able to compensate on the bike and I’ve never needed to prescription riding glasses. But the sight in my right eye is getting worse and I now wear glasses most of the time, and on the bike feel really disconnected to the world (particularly on the road bike, trying to read signs etc). I’d ideally like to buy some new riding glasses, very similar to my Fury’s in a 0-3 (or similar) photochromic direct prescription lense, in a wrap around style. What are people using? I’m off to the opticians soon so will talk to them too but think their options are limited.

Contacts are not an option. They make me feel sick!

Interested in this too. You can get inserts behind a wraparound lens but they always look a bit naff (and apparently can steam up badly) and I have never seen proper prescription glazing on a wraparound lens. The other option is a frame design with two separate lenses. Not as fashionable these days but easy enough to get prescription lenses for. Reglaze-glasses-direct are good for this.

Direct glaze julbo options at rxsport but the only photochromic options are with clip in lenses.

I’ve been looking into this recently but will probably just go for a clip in option.

I got these <url=https://www.tifosi-optics.co.uk/products/rail-clarion-fototec-single-lens-sunglasses?variant=45920992428341>Tifosi Rail</url> and a tifosi insert last year.

Shop about though, I paid £55 for them last year on discount, the insert was about a tenner, got it glazed for another £15 or so.

Not photochromic but I saw an advert for these and thought they looked interesting. Not hellish expensive either.

A large lensed prescription spectacle with a cover rather than an insert. It  might be better than an insert?

So just came out the opticians and I can’t do a single lens option as my prescription is so different between my eyes. Need separate lenses which is then either clip ons (not fussed by the idea and look a bit odd with photochromatic)  or something with separate lenses.

Worth checking out Rad8 Cycling glasses. They do prescription photochromic glasses, though not in the wrap-around style – https://www.rad8.co.uk/store/c16/Prescription_Lens_CYCLING_Glasses.html

Worth giving them a call/email to see if they can match your lense needs.

From experience, anything that has too much curve on it won’t be doable as prescription, especially strong prescriptions.

Daily lenses aren’t a massive faff though.

I really dislike clip in inserts.  Two extra surfaces to mist or catch a lump of muck, extra weight and bulk making them less comfortable and less likely to stay put.  I got on very well with some Oakley Straight Jackets, separate left and right lenses so easier to get prescription lenses and enough wrap to work for me.  With prescription photochromic lenses I never needed to wear anything else to ride day or night.  I’d avoid inserts at all costs

Daily lenses aren’t a massive faff though.

They just don’t work for some folk.

From previous experience wrap-around doesn’t work too well with short sightedness and astigmatism. When much younger I tried to get some Rayban Rebels in a prescription and it wasn’t possible due to the lense curve as it can lead to a very thick and heavy pair of specs.

RxSport have the Julbo Ultimate – £560 though.

From a professional perspective, I would urge anyone looking for this stuff to see an Optician and have a chat with them. There are many, many options available that we can get in form various suppliers that won’t cost the earth. They will be fitted properly, pretty key for something that gets bumped about a lot, and measured properly- again pretty important for best vision.

I am fairly unusual in that I have often offered things in my practice like Adidas and Melon but most practices will have a supplier that does decent budget sports eyewear.

Rudy Rydon do an insert and prescription standalone lenses. I’ve worn the Rx insert for years, but deteriorating vision and a need for more eye coverage meant I just bought some Koo Alibis which have a photochromatic lens, and some monthly disposable contacts to wear underneath. I wore contacts for years. The downside is I’m typing this wearing some +1 reading glasses AND contacts. Koo make an insert which I’m tempted by. Inserts are hopeless in wet weather. If you’re shortsighted, I’d say dangerous (I’m the opposite). The alternative is stick on bifocal lens which my brother in law swears by for reading on the trail/road. He’s a dispensing optician. I want a single bifocal insert for the Koos but the clear insert is sold out.

Thanks all. I have astigmatism, with a long-sighted left eye and squint, and a short-sighted right eye. Taking on board @theycallmejerry’s comment, and a lifetime experience of hospital/optician appointments (I had my first glasses at 18 months old!), I decided to do the sensible thing and get a pair of transition Oakley’s bisphaera properly fitted at my opticians. They don’t look as cool as other options, but hohum – much cooler to be able to see where you are going! And the one pair will do for all my riding, plus week-long tours when I don’t want to be swapping/carrying glasses about.  I did have to go get a coffee before handing over the £££ – haha!

Daily lenses aren’t a massive faff though.

Lenses just aren’t for me. I can’t even put them in my eye!  Maybe a bit of a PTSD moment from eye surgery at the age of 3. Who knows, but they aren’t my bag.

Lenses can take a while to get used to with sticking fingers in eyes and touching eye-balls. I know I had to allow extra time to fit them everytime we were going out as with my dyspraxia it was even more of a faff! They aren’t for everyone.
