My wife has Vision Care through her employer. She took me down to Costco for a pair. Just needed the bi-focal part so I could see the dash without it being blurry. Easy to work with and only took a couple of visits.

there have been several threads recently about riding glasses, prescription glasses, night vision, etc.... do a search and read what others have said. I asked my optometrist and they had a small selection. transition lenses, bi-focals and i'm set. check your eye care specialist.

One with prescription shades and one with prescription clear. I love them as the are intended to be used on the motorcycle.

I bought mine at Walmart. They have auto tinting safety glass. Everything I do from riding to shooting to working with tools safety glasses are a good idea. The frames are black plastic just like my sunglasses I've used since before I needed glasses to see with. I guess these type frames have been popular with bikers for decades because they don't funnel wind in your eyes like wire frames. A friend at work teased me saying they look like the ones with the fake nose and mustache. Like double breasted suits everything comes back in style so I see a lot of non bikers wearing these now. Mine were cheap but there are plenty of designer frames out there if you just have plenty of money you need to spend. Bronson wore the black plastic frames and he was cool so that's what I've always worn. LOL

I've had decent luck with prescription goggles from SportRX. They have a good selection of styles and several different shades of tint for the lenses. http://www.sportrx.com/?ibp-adgroup=...n=hi-vis-brand

My eye doctor rides, so getting prescription riding glasses is easy.

First off, you gotta get over the part about your little brother.
He needed glasses and you probably have your whole life too, you've just been to vain about it.

So get to an eye doctor,, get a script,, and get some glasses.

Liberty Sport will work just fine if your aware of how well your vision can be.

Once you have your eye glass prescription in hand you can buy from anyone

Here is a pic of my everyday glasses. They are auto tinting bi focal safety glasses. They are clear when it's dark or inside.
