There's probably a million threads about them but thought I would seek about my own particular issues and latest suppliers etc...
So.... I've been advised never to wear contact lenses regularly again after a very painful eye problem last week. dailies once or twice a week for around 8 hours day was suggested... but after 30 years of over 14 hours a day everyday.... I've had a good run and 8 hours twice a week is peeing in the wind really.... 8 hours! I'd be taking them out at work..... so decided not to bother. I've ordered 2 pairs of varifocals 1 x normal and 1 x cool sunglasses.... Now cycling glasses.... I used ride in sun tint lenses or yellow low light (and occasionally clears)
I'm thinking best option is non prescription glasses that take RX inserts?
I'd prefer the single visor lens type as they are easier to change lenses but used both types in the past. Most recently though it was separate lens style.
And do people bother with varifocal lenses in them? I can read Garmin ok with old single vision glasses I'm wearing until new ones arrive but would struggle with phone/watch and cafe menus.
Any experiences and advice anyone wants to share would be welcome and any recommended suppliers would be helpful.
Not sure when i would be buying though as bank account is still recovering from car repair bill and 2 pairs of glasses and don't want another money related conversation just right now! but don't want to risk new expensive delicate and scratchable varifocals for too long for riding in.
