I've had a couple pair of RX riding glasses. Panoptics being one of them. The transition lenses work great. The removeable foam inserts offer great protection but I have yet to find a pair of RX riding glasses that don't distort due to the wrap of the lenses and I doubt I ever will.
I have a mild prescription so that is not the problem. You have to choose the glasses with the least amount of wrap.

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.

7th Eye makes sweet riding glasses. They do RX and have transition lenses available. The foam around the glasses, which is removable for walking around will keep the wind out of your eyes, but allows them to breath. I have a pair and tested them to 100 mph on my Buell with no windscreen. Great optics and the only drawback is the price ($200 non RX and I think $250 with RX). You do get what you pay for, and these are worth every penny.

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 use the Liberty Free Spirit also. Wide lens, no line, poly transition and polarized from the local Eye Mart.

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.
