DVX glasses by ***** are awesome. Got them at Walmart optical. Frames were 50 bucks. Safety rated, frames and lens with my prescription a hundred more. JR

I have a mild prescription so that is not the problem. You have to choose the glasses with the least amount of wrap.
I have the same problem. The issue is that the frame has a base 8 curve so the lens distorts. I needed a base 6 curve. I wound up using Liberty Sports frames. No foam, but these worked well for me - no issues with rain, dirt or wind even w/o the foam inserts.
FYI you have to ask which are the base 6 since they have both

These have worked really well for me with the inserts. I've even used them for skydiving. Pretty reasonable considering other glasses. Quick change out to clear for night use.

Try some prescription Maui Jim's...Mine wrap around as far as any glasses I've ever had and they don't have a bit of distortion.
They are very expensive....but worth every dime.

You do get what you pay for, and these are worth every penny.
Plus 1. My eye doc recommended a brown tint and I LOVE them. There are also different levels. Be sure to get a level that goes to zero tint. Hope this helps

I have a pair of Harley Profile glasses with my RX, photogrey, comfy, and with foam, had them for 8 years now. Script is getting old...

I have a newer pair of DV/X made by WileyX, and available at Walmart, that I REALLY like, no foam, but the shape keeps any wind off my eyes, also photogrey.

I would recommend getting the photogrey, good shades for daylight, and clear for night in the same pair.

I wear Liberty Sport Choppers. Foam side gaskets are magnetic so I can just pop them in on cold days.


They have a base 8 curve but I've never noticed any distortion with my rx and Transition lenses.
