 Poster: A snowHead
|
Anybody know a source of online prescription "sport" sunglasses?
Plenty of glasses available online for a few tenners including dark tinting, but that's not quite the same as a suitable pair of "sport" sunglasses that will keep the glare out from the sides of the lenses as well.
Budget: low as no doubt they'll get broken (I know I can buy a pair of Oakleys for £250, thanks!)
Otherwise I'll stick to using my bare eyes which aren't that bad really.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

depends on what prescription you need - as most sports glasses are curved it can be a problem if you need a higher prescription.

James the Last, try these guys... http://www.isyte.com/ - ask for Jacqui. If it's an uncomplicated prescription and you know your PD (it should be on your prescription but often isn't), then she can tell you which models will accommodate. The Oakleys are made up in their own facility in Ireland so they are proper Oakley lenses.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

James the Last, sorry, just spotted you don't want to shell out on Oakley. Ah well, they're only your eyes.

James the Last,
Have a look at http://www.uksportseyewear.co.uk/product.php/162/prescription-sports-glasses
The big thing I found was getting something that stopped the glare coming in from the sides.
I recently paid £220 for a pair of prescription Oakley Flak Jackets but I really don't think they are worth it. The arm design makes them a really cr*p fit under my bicycle helmet

I use contacts with goggles, but my vision will never be as good with contacts as with regular glasses due to them needing a specific orientation (due to my astigmatism) and my eye always moves the contacts out of place slightly.
Depends on what James has, I guess!

We've used RX sports for prescription goggles. Always a great service, they take care to get the details right. We were sent out a box of goggles to try on and keep the best fit. They also have prescription sunglasses.
