Prescription cycling (sun)glasses

[worktheweb]

I’ve used Zenni Optical and they have a bunch of options for a low price. The ones I am wearing now are these cycling glasses that I got in June of 2015 and they’re still going strong. With lens coatings and options they cost me $46 and they’ve worked in blizzards, torrential rains, and sunny days to boot. You need to know your interpupillary distance (PD) which isn’t on your prescription (the distance between your pupils). Once you’ve got that you’re set. Usually takes 1-2 weeks to get them.

I’ve been wearing Bollé Vigilantes with prescription inserts for years. My old pair had a scratched lens and the ear piece coverings were ripped. It was cheaper to buy a new pair at $64 than replaced the worn out parts.

Whoever writes the eyeglass prescription (eye physician for preference, or some other licensed eye examiner) can write down the pupilary distance number on the prescription form.
