A couple of years ago I found sunglasses in the fishing section of WalMart with readers built in since then I've found them a couple of other places. I've also found wrap around safety glasses in clear with readers built in. I keep one of each on the bikes for riding and found out being able to see the speedometer sure makes the cops happy.

A big +1! I also have been using them for years -- got 'em to read paper maps when bicycling -- in pre-GPS days.
Artillery lends dignity to what would
otherwise be a vulgar brawl.

For those of us who don't have/use/want a full face helmet, or who ride without a helmet, there are dozens of sunglass/goggle options too - here's one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Motorcycle-r...-/300483206249
Some of these are good choices and $10 a pair (2 for $20)...

I like that, i just sent my wife to harmon to get it if they have it there

Here are the Bearkats that I use. The sunglasses version doesn't show right now.

I've got monovision. Each eye is a different correction. I usually have to get two pair and switch the lenses. Great idea and I have some time yet cause I can see the guages still but closer than that need readers...thanks for the info....

I wear prescription glasses with progressive bifocals already. My problem was finding frames that fit inside my full-face helmet. It wasn't the front (didn't need wrap-arounds) but wire-type ear pieces would bend and plastic ones were uncomfortable. I finally found some that are just right, and wear them with my prescription only when ryding.

If you need any type of distance correction,and need help with with near vision, the progressive lens is the way to go. If the vision in your two eyes are different,or if you have astigmatism,these lenses can balance your distance vision and help you see intermediate distance,like your gauges and read up close, and everywhere in between. The only caveat is where you have them made. I've seen them upside-down, too high,too low,etc.
if you are lucky enough to have good distance vision and the stick-ons work, great! Just get a thorough vision exam every couple years to make sure to make sure that you don't have glaucoma, or other eye diseases, which sometimes have no symptoms
probably too much information.

Good info, Rondo. I took my helmet to the optician and he figured how to shape the lenses while wearing the frames with my helmet. I had previously tried the Willy-X prescription goggles, but they put the lenses too far from my eyes and messed with my vision. My optician has such good service he gave me a full credit and I got the frames I use now. They really look awful when I'm not wearing my helmet, but they do the trick for ryding.
[BTW, I do have astigmatism in one eye and the prescriptions for the two eyes are quite different.]

Patti,
Hope you never need hearing aids. That adds a whole new dimension to the problem.

Sounds like you have a great optician!

Question
I like the idea of putting the "readers" on the face shield, but I'm wondering I use 2.50 and when you have your glasses on, they are 1/2" or so from your eye ball. Would your "need/Rx" change if putting them on the face shield because its 2" + from your eyeball?
