I bought some of these in 2017.

Just replaced them with the same again, as the lenses were getting a bit worn. Insert was glazed to my subscription.

Yep, there's polycarb., as used on premium brands, plus TR90, a thermoplastic, also routinely used. And for under sixteen squid.

Cough marketing cough.

Is it purely the looks that you are asking about ?

FWIW - I have to wear prescription specs when cycling - for ages I tried the budget options - but in the end I dropped almost £300 on a pair of Rudy projects - probably one of my best cycling purchases had them a good few years now. Been great.

Do you then just replace the lenses as your (if) prescription changes or the whole frame as well?

I am also in the market for sunglasses but have been told that due to my prescription, I can't get glasses that have very round frames such as those from Oakley.

Hi - not sure where I would be replacements should my prescription alter.

I have quite a hefty prescription - I went to extreme eyewear who agree to glaze the specs when everyone else wouldn't. My prescription is around -6

I have optilabs prescription glasses and they replaced the lenses for me last year. Frames now 9 years old

...or for less than £10. Anti fog, polycarbonate lens, comfortable and wear for general use too!!

I have dewalt safety glasses with a slight tint from screw fix / Toolstation about £3 iirc.

I can’t compete with @kingrollo‘s prescription! As a general rule, I’ve found that the stronger/stranger your prescription that more limited the choice of frames that will accommodate the required lens.

I have managed to get replacement lens for existing frames but these have been for larger brands (Oakley, Bollé) and I’ve had to go through my optician, so costly.

Speak to the specialist reglazers, they will sort that for significantly less. I've used Reglaze My Spex a couple of times, and others in the past.

£20 spent at a good military surplus store will get you new current issue glasses that are robust, have interchangeable lenses, a neck strap without spending a fortune on a branded 'cycling specific' leery colour glasses.

I got those in 2019 and had Specsavers put single vision lenses in the inserts. Unfortunately I now need varifocal/bifocal to see both the road and the Garmin. I was looking into Optilabs and the like, bought a set of these as a temporary measure and they work so well I've not bothered getting proper all in one glasses yet, though I will at some point.

Very good value, I have a clear pair for most rides to stop the insects getting into my eyes, they do scratch easy and get foggy.

I had RX inserts with lenses to my prescription, and just attach them to some Choakleys (chinese Oakleys) off amazon

Where did you get the prescription inserts done - been looking for months with no luck.

My uncle is an optician so that was easy. My local independent optician could have done them too though.
