My favorite LBS just started carrying the Tifosi line of sport/cycling glasses. Being a corrective lens wearer, I was pleased to see that they had one model available with an RX insert. They look like a nice product for the money - I was surprised at how reasonably priced they were: $30 US for the glasses with one lens set and $15 for the Rx insert. For that price you could buy several glasses with different color lenses and one insert to swap between them and still come out way ahead for what you'd pay for Oakleys or Rudy Projects.

But ... but ... my RPs *look* cool! And stuff. They make me pedal faster, I swear!
Okay, maybe not. It *is* nice to have interchangeable lenses rather than multiple whole frames to carry around, but I have friends with super-cheap interchangeables, too.
I suspect that a decent opt-whatever shop could make an insert for just about any model; I'm sure it would cost, though.

A great many glasses shops also make prescription safety glasses for industrial use. Nowdays safety glasses look like "regular" eyeglasses or sunglasses and can be had from 50$ up to 350$.
But I'm a bit paranoid about being blind (and I have to have safety glasses for work, so I already own them)
