I like glasses by optic nerve myself, they have the same quality as other quality sport glasses and
are much more friendly to the pocket book

Could you give me some advice on partiuclar brand/style recommendations AND the features that you
like about that brand/style. JUST AS IMPORTANT is any brand/style anti-recommendations AND why you
didn't like them. In other words, what is important to get/avoid when purchasing eye wear?
I think major factors have something to do with: replacable lenses, grip, sweat, comfort, uv
protection, polarization, field of vision, cost.
I ride a road bike, mostly for pleasure and exercise although I may commute to school in the fall,
provided I can find a safe route (not an easy task in Winnipeg - far too many Cracker Jack
drivers*).
My eyes rate about a -7 diopter, so I definitely need glasses to drive. I find that I can do
without them for cycling, although most of my cycling is in very low traffic areas. When I'm in an
aero position, my glasses are pretty much useless as it's very difficult to crank my head back
enough to see through the lenses - usually I wind up looking overtop the lenses. The other problem
with glasses in an aero position is that I frequently wind up with sweat drops on the inside of
the lenses.
I have polarized sunglasses (prescription) for sunny days. They are great, but with a caveat. If
the sun hits your face from an obtuse angle (way up high or way off to the side), it's really hard
to see through polarized lenses. Wearing a baseball cap helps immensely.
