Sunglasses w/Rx insert

Fred Hall said:

I'm looking to get a decent pair of semi-wraparound
sunglasses to be used for road riding...along the style of
something like Bolle Vigilante or Parole. However, my eyes
are bad enough where I'll need a prescription insert to go
with them.

Right now I use my regular glasses that have the magnetic
clip-on sunglasses, but when I ride, even though they have
light plastic lenses they are just heavy enough to
constantly slip down my nose just enough that I'm always
either pushing them up with one hand or looking over the
top of them.

My question is, by adding the Rx insert to the wraparound
sunglasses, will it make them that much heavier and I'll
experience the same "slippage" problem? Or are they light
enough/fit tight enough to stay put? Will I be looking over
the top of the insert? Anyone with experience using these
inserts have any insights or alternative recommendations?

If your correction is under 3 or 4 diopters, and little or
no astigmatism, why not get soft contact lenses? For about
150-160 bucks you can get a 12 pack of disposable, plus 50
for the exam. That's cheaper than glasses. Over 4 diopters
and they will probably be quite heavy, but most sunglasses
for biking fit more snugly and may not slip down. Check your
performance bike shop for a pair on sale for about 50 bucks
that you can add in insert into. They're about the most
modestly priced to try and if it doesn't work they have a
good return policy.

Good luck.

I use Bolle Parole model sunglasses with a prescription
insert. I have a fairly strong prescription and a narrow
nose, but I don't have a significant problem with slippage.
They sometimes slip a little if I get really sweaty in bumpy
conditions. I tried the Smith Moab H/P with prescription
insert, and found them inferior to the Parole model since
the lower edge of the prescription insert rested on my face
uncomfortably. Its contact with my skin also made it dirty.

I have three minor gripes about my Parole glasses: a)
sometimes a bug gets caught between the two lenses, (b)
sometimes fog forms on the surfaces between the lenses, and
(c) Bolle stopped making the blue flash lenses that I like.
That said, I'm a very satisfied customer, satisfied enough
that I bought a spare pair when I heard that the model had
been discontinued (appears to have been a false alarm).

I've had a pair of Briko Sprinter sunglasses with a
prescription insert for several years. No problems, they
work for me.

I have Adidas Evil Eye Pro with prescription insert. No
problem with slipage or fogging so far. The frames have good
vents. The placement of the RX lense is excellent and the
frames have good adjustments in the nose and earpieces for
changing the fit on the fly. 7 lense colors available, easy
to change by hand. You can also get a headstrap that fits
them for using them for other sports, from the Evil Eye
Explorer model.

You're saying the contacts will be quite heavy? Never heard
that before. My correction is quite bad (-7.0, but no
astigmatism), but my contacts work fine for mountain biking.
I wear the 1 day disposable type...about $100 for 90 pairs
at the discount store (Costco).

I've used to Parole w/Rx inserts four or five years and have
been very satisfied. They do not slip. Eventually the rubber
nose pads and ear pieces will go south but with a little
effort they can be replaced. The nylon frame is
indestructable. I had the optician place a very small
bifocal area at the bottom of the lens which works for maps
and menus.

Addition weight is not noticeable. Fogging is unusual,
normally only occurs when stopped.

FYI Bolle service info: Please call 800.22.Bollé (or
800.222.6553) to speak with one of our customer service
representatives."

FYI: Vigilante and Parole nose pads and temple pads
are the same. I ordered my parts from Bolle. They were
3 or 4 dollas.

I've been riding with Bollé Edge IIs with Rx inserts for
over ten years now. As other posters have stated there's
been no problems with slippage.

Even though the Edge II has been out of production for
years, replacement parts are readily available from the
above referenced customer service facility. I had to
replace a broken Rx insert a year or so ago. I just had to
snap the old lenses into the new insert, a process that
gave me some pause.

One problem (not Bollé's fault) I've had is with the
lenses, purchased from my eye doctor. I believe they are
Lexan (or perhaps some other optical plastic) and have a
coating which has partially worn off over the years. While
the lenses now look pretty bad the coating is still there
in my field of vision.

If you're going Rx insert with plastic lenses ask if they
have a coating which might wear off. Then again, I've been
using the same lenses for a decade or so, so perhaps I have
no grounds for complaint.

I have Bolle Paroles with the RX inserts. I love them. They
use a special (and the name slips my mind) nosepiece like
rubber that grips when moist. I run and cycle in these
glasses and they rarely slip. I have no problems looking
through the insert, as they are close to your eyes. Be sure
to get lots of other color lenses! My Paroles have come in
handy as back-ups when I broke my reg glasses, when I put
the clear lenses in. The rose-color lenses are great for
cloudy days too.

PS- The RX insert pops out easily if you need to loan the
glasses to anyone else, too.

Unfortunately, I have astigmatism big-time or I would
probably have gone the daily wear contact route - I tried
regular soft contacts a few years ago (before I was into
riding seriously) and needed "heavier" plastic because of
the astigmatism...the daily chore of removing/cleaning,
coupled with the fact they didn't really get me to 20/20
made me chuck 'em after a year or so.

Thanks for the comparison between the Bolle and Smith
Moab...gives me another data point. The responses have been
very helpful so far.

I love my prescription Oakley's. They are not wraparounds,
the way their M-frame is, these look more like traditional
sunglasses, but they have substantial enough sides that they
do a good job of keeping glare and debris from getting in.
They are light -- lighter than my regular glasses --
comfortable and they stay put. On the ones I have, the
prescription lenses are fit right into the sunglass lenses
and are just about the same size, so you don't "see" the
insert. I thought that was the way to go, but it does limit
your choices in terms of which frames you can get.

Good luck, Richard Stanz

I use 2 pairs of sunglasses while biking. I've had a pair of
"Fitovers" since before there were lots of cheap knockoffs.
They go over my normal glasses and work very well at keeping
any sun from passing around them. I like the way they do the
job but some folks find them not stylish enough.

I also have a pair of Louis Garneau with the Rx insert. I
bought bifocals for the insert with low weight lenses etc,
etc. They work well too and have 3 lenses dark, yellow and
clear. I use them mostly with the clear in case I might end
up riding in the dark but still want to better block the UVA
& B than the current style of small lenses for normal
glasses. The RX sure cost a bundle though. Next time I think
I'll save money by leaving off the reading lenses as I can
read fine by taking my glasses off.

Doug

Fred,

Did you have regular lenses or toric lenses?

I also have lots of astigmatism, and my toric lenses take me
to right around 20-20. Yes, they do have the "daily care"
issues, but for my money, they're worth it.

Oh, and they're not cheap, either

Hi, I am using the Tifosi Zoom with Rx insert and I am
happy with them. They were the lowest price of any of the
glasses of this type. List price is $29.95 for the glasses
and $15 for the Rx insert. Of course the prescription
lenses were the most expensive part, but still this was a
low cost way of trying them out. The only problem I had was
that my eyelashes were hitting the Rx lense. I glued a
small pad to the top edge above the middle of both the left
and right lense. It solved that problem. I had lots of
slipping with my regular prescription sunglasses, but the
Tifosi stay in place.

"distance" portion done on the inserts...I can read fine
without my glasses too, and I'm far enough from the bike
computer that I can see that through the distance part of my
regular glasses too, so not having the bifocal insert should
be fine (and save some $$$).

but when I ride, even though they have light plastic
lenses they are just heavy enough to constantly slip down
my nose just enough that I'm always either pushing them up
with one hand or looking over the top of

them.

This is off-topic, but no joke. My solution isn't for
everybody (not everybody can). The used to happen to me
until I found that with a combination of wiggling my ears
and scrunching my nose just right, I could "walk" the
eyeglasses back up to where they came from.

That, my friends, is how I learned that I was able to
wiggle my ears.
