I have a pair of prescription safety glasses made by 3M . I bought them for work but they're great for on the bike at night.

Smile High Astigmatism

We hear that alot! Putting a high correction, especially a high astigmatism, in a wrap frame is tricky. You really have to know what you're doing or you end up with a fishbowl effect. It's our specialty, though! We can look at your RX and make frame and lens recommendations. Let me know if you'd like me to do that for you! Our motto is "yes, we can!!" We've done some CRAZY prescriptions and made biker's very happy! (and surprised) lol Our office number is 573-442-1022.

My riding glasses are photo chromatic so I can use them day or night, it doesn't matter. Personally, I'm not one for having a set of glasses for this and a set of glasses for that so I just have one pair that does it all.

I wear glasses all the time. I use a Full Face helmet which has a built-in sun visor that I don't use at night (obviously).

same here. best option for us I think. I really like the sun visor in my helmet and usually ride with the shield open. Only when speeds get up there do I enjoy closing the shield.

+1. And if it was really cold I used Guard Dogs goggles. However, now that I have a windshield I never need the goggles.
