I buy all my glasses need at zenni.com, they have everything from soup to nuts, but you have to have a script and sizes of glasses you will need, and they are dirt cheap.

I just received my Wiley-X glasses from http://www.rx-safety.com/ ...my frames alone were $50 cheaper than sprotrx.com. I did a phone order and had them in a week and a half.

RE: Prescription Sunglasses
I had a local Optician match the price that Sportrx was going to charge me, I bought 2 pair of the Wiley-x blink glasses. I got one pair in number 3 gray and one in clear. I didn't mess with the transitions because to be brutaly honest they suck in direct sunlight where the number 3 gray does a pretty good job.

RE: Prescription Sunglasses
I spent big bucks on my WileyX SG1 sunglasses with Rx lenses.
I canât remember the brand, but my wife bought hers at Walmart for less than half of what I paid.

Maui Jim's. Expensive and worth every friggin' penny! Won't blow off, very difficult to scratch when dropped, look right into the sun with no problem, no trouble to use if caught in low light, just simply the very best. Price varies with prescription and coatings. Mine were $425.00 through my eye doctor. Shop around!!!

RE: Prescription Sunglasses
I got wise. My advice? Get yourself a pair of goggles to put over your glasses. I went the script sunglasses route, about 300.00, (Rudy Sunglasses), andthen needed a new script a year later. So now double the money for a regular pair of glasses and sunglasses...
I got wise.
You can find an excellent pair of goggles to wear over your glassesgiving youmore money to put where it counts; into your bike!

RE: Prescription Sunglasses
Just purchased my second pair of transition gray lenses from Sport RX. The first frames were panoptics and my new ones are wileyx Airrage ($244) with a lined bi-focal.
Never had a problem with transitions, they work fine for me. I also like being able to remove the foam eye cup when want to.

RE: Prescription Sunglasses
If you care anything about your eyes, don't waste your money on anything buy polarized lenses.
(ask your eye doctor, and the prescription ground ones are the best!)
