Been looking around the web trying to get a set of cycling glasses with my prescription, I just can't seem to find anything. Surely there are plenty of cyclists out there who need glasses and are in the same boat? Has anyone found anywhere that can make prescription cycling glasses, the ones that Specsavers have are horrendous haha.

    I use Bolle glasses with a pair of prescription inserts. You can also get directly glazed prescription cycling glasses but these are more expensive than inserts.

    If you are long sighted, Dual Eyewear provide lenses with a 1.5, 2.0 or 2.5 diopter "bi focal" type area at the bottom. The rest of the lense has no correction and work great if you need reading glasses to see your Garmin or map etc.

    You asked what other did? Well I've given up after my last pair of prescription sun glasses were run over after they fell out of jersey pocket.

    Switched to contact lenses and "normal" cycling sun glasses.
