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.

The Gazelle takes the same RX insert and has 14 lens colors available

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.

Also found this company that purports to sell them.

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

I bought them at Roosevelt Vision Source in Seattle, Washington 206-527-2987.
They said that some frame colors are not available in the US, but others are.
You can also do a Google web search and find plenty of US sources. BTW: they
show up on ebay occasionally.

I'm happy with them so far.

I use bifocals too, but planned on getting just the "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 $$$).

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.

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.
