Mine are perscription , but they work very well , the neoprene seal works as long as the glasses fit your face properly.
You would have to try a few sets , the reason I chose the Brick was because of the shape of my face.

So Mick, you just send them your prescription and they add that cost to the glasses. Your example=$100.00?

Thanks,
Jim

Yes , the non-perscription are about $100.00.
The perscription would be added to that.
I have bifocals , but my riding glasses are just the long range lense , not bifocals.
I go to http://www.rochesteroptical.com/ these guys are the military supplier in my area.
My regular glasses are the military EAB-17 gas mask glasses , they are narrow and have wire temple (around the whole back of the ear) so they can't ever fall off , no matter what.

You can use any reputable dealer. I use this one http://www.adseyewear.com/prescripti...le-sunglasses/ They have other makes and styles to choose if you don't like Wiley-X. They will even let you try a pair of non-scripts for fit before you buy, and you can order replacement Rx lenses for your frames.

Kds. 5-10 bucks. Throw away money. You could buy the night pair and the day pair and swap lenses. I only use kds. Befoe i made a big deal but now i just wear clear or shaded kds. Have all the othe colors but, clear and shade are all i carry

I have the Wiley X AirRage with the transitions XTRA lenses with my prescription. They are ok but not nearly as good as a pair of regular sunglasses. I ended up going with two pair. One with the smoked lenses with my prescription and the other with the transition XTRA for days when the sun isn't so bright and / or riding at night.
