need advice re:prescription glasses

[Captain Fin]

I love Wylie

Looked at their website.
Impressive. Have added it to my favorites.
Now I just have to convince the "boss" that these are not another farckle.

I have the Wylie and they do the job very well.

Look at Safety Glasses USA....bought 2 pair of "Cheaters" (bifocals), one smoke color and one clear, for less than $25.00 including shipping.

Most safety glasses do not meet state requirements for "eye protection". Those requirements necessitate that the glasses be sealed to the face, like goggles. Simple side shields are not enough. Check your state requirements before doing riding with glasses, to see they meet the standards. Some states are super strict on this.

Went to the glass place in Wal-Mart last summer with my perscription from the VA. Had them make me a pair of safety glasses. Cost $60.00.

..........make sure to try 'em with the helmet on. I've got prescription Foster Grant's tear drops, and the bows are big enough to be uncomfortable inside my full face HJC. I got another set of prescription glasses, by Guess, with Transitions lens. The bows are extremely thin, and they are comfortable to wear inside the lid. <M>

I've got 3 pair at the moment, and they all tend to get uncomfortable after a while.
I also find myself using my older single vision lenses more while riding. The no-line bifocals have me moving my head around too much, when I could just glance down toward the mirrors, or gauges.

I'm thinking of going back to single vision contacts for riding...
