Cycling Glasses with prescription

[mrmacmusic]

Another thread on non-prescription cycling glasses prompted me to look at Decathlon, and I've discovered they do glasses with prescription insert (obviously to be glazed elsewhere) for only £25. I've been putting off getting these, but really need to sort them out now... does anyone have experience of the B'Twin 800 Optic glasses, or can offer advice on getting them glazed?

I recently got glasses from a new optician (long story, not for here!) and they had a nice sports glasses option with 3 interchangeable lenses (yellow, grey and polarised, all UV protect) where the lenses were attached magnetically and hinged up – cost was £120. I've also seen a pair in Specsavers again with 3 lenses (clear, yellow, grey) although with these you pulled the lenses out to change them, so I guess fingerprints might be an issue. They were cheaper at £99. Unfortunately neither were a perfect fit, and although I also spotted these on Amazon, they apparently can't be made up to my prescription because of my 70mm PD measurement

Fignon cut a fine figure with his regular specs perched on the end of his nose as he heaped the pain on his rivals. Ponytail optional.

70mm pd isn't far off the average 68mm.

Like I said in the pm, do give glasses direct a call. I sent a pair of Oakley normal glasses back for re glazing. Cost about £100 for ultra thin transitions, less than half the optician cost. I then ordered 2 pairs of Jeff Banks glasses for less than £90. They re-glaze from £25. All three pairs were spot on.
