Default Prescription riding glasses

I know this is not a softail specific subject, however I'm a softail kinda guy.

Does anyone have any recommendations for online ordering of prescription riding glasses?

I've been to the wylie X site and $400+ is insane.
For that I'll keep my $20 overs.

I would like some transition lenses and bifocal.
Is looking to stay under $400 unreasonable?

I found a site called "bikershades" and I can get a pair there or around $300.

Thanks,

I got these through my local eye doctor from their safety glasses selection. Dark tint, progressive bi-focals with eye seal and optional goggle strap. All for $250.00

I get all my riding glasses from Wayne Optical in York, PA. Their riding line is called Flying Pig Eyewear.

I went to www.rx-safety.com and got a pair of Spy Bounty glasses. I got the transitions and blue mirror lenses and have been very happy with them. They are also safety glasses, so you are also getting a protective lens as well. If you know your Rx, you can order them right on the site, very convenient.

Just bought a pair of prescription, polarized Wiley x airrage for $230 at optics planet but that incl $30 express dlvry . Recd them in less than a week. Removable seal, 2 straps and case. There was a July 4th deal or something I think. Transitions just don't seem to get dark enough or quick enough for me. My local eye doc carries liberty. He quoted me $180 for prescription & polarized. Do like the mag-traxion seals, pretty neat design. I didn't opt for any of the extra stuff they can add...anti scratch coating, anti fog coating, mirror coating, tivek or whatever lens and so on. Liking the airrage both ways, with and without the seal.

I got some (like the above pic) from wally world for around 220. They're not bi-focal but are transitional.

I got mine form the Harley dealer. at the time they were about $300 or so bucks. I had the lenses changed once buy my eye doctors office, the cost was 200 bucks. I think they are worth the money.
