I use Wiley X, with a progressive lens and Transitions Drivewear technology.http://www.drivewearlens.com/home.php?flashchange=8
I also have them digitally cut, for less distortion on the curve.
They work very well.

I have horrible vision. None of the local eye places could do anything for riding glasses. Found Sport RX online and they took care of me.

Only problem is I can't read the gauges at all. My near vision is zippo.

On the FLHTC (windshield) I just wear my regular trifocals (old man talking). The only thing about those is you have to get accommodated to how the various segments of the lens can screw with your head. Shoulder checks in particular.
I am in the same boat, far sighted but can't see my gauges up close without glasses.

I have 2 pair of prescription transition lenses with the removable foam inserts. First pair was Wiley X and the second pair I bought about a year later is the Liberty Sport, got them at local Wal-Mart vision center. I keep the Wiley X pair in the saddlebag for back-ups and wear the Liberty Sport most of the time.

I have 2 pair of the Liberty Biker glasses from Walmart. One pair is a dark tint mirrored lens and the other is a transition lens for night riding and when it isn't real bright out.

Now, you can wear any non script sunglasses you want, or shields.

No need to make it complicated.

I used these before I had corrective surgery. About 20 bucks at the dealership; comes in dark, amber and clear. No issues with fitting over glasses or sealing out the breeze.

I'm on my second pair of Liberty Sports, from my neighborhood Wally World. Best investment I ever made. Second is heated gear. I can't believe I rode for 40+ years without either.

For those that do not need distance correction and only need reading assistance.
To see the gauges and such.
Crossfire makes the ES4...just ebay and search Crossfire ES4 and whatever number you need 1.5, 2.0 or whatever and then look at the clear or bronze.
Nice product and under $15 USA dollars shipped most times.
