My distance vision it 20/20 but I need those readers more frequent now for newsprint etc. I've seen safety glasses with lower part for reading with different powers. Not tried them yet but thinking about ordering a set. Range is from $9-$30. The SOS ones don't look that bad!

Someone or many may have suggested this since I didn't read through all of the pages on this post; but I use a pair of Guard Dogs http://www.guard-dogs.com/shop/index.php?cPath=30 over the glasses goggles; they work great and have interchangeable lenses so you can use them day or night. Pretty reasonable priced too.

I just got a prescription for contacts, and wear Oakley wraps. It's much easier than I thought to insert/remove them; so far so good.

Lasik costs a lot more than any sunglasses but it was the best money I ever spent

cmhfguy,

What model Oakleys do you have. I have astigmatism as well and it is hard to find a good pair of riding glasses. Yours seem to be on point with what I need. Thanks.

Before Lasik surgery, I just always bought glasses that came with clip on sunglasses. They attached with small magnets at the top and I never had an issue with them coming loose or flying off for that matter. I also liked them because if i went into a building I just had a small pair of clip on sunglasses to hold as opposed to having another pair of glasses.
