Prescription Riding Glasses?

[flyinghog29]

Hey guys, im new to the forum scene, so hello from daytona. Ive been looking around and havent been able to find a place that can make good set of prescription riding glasses (i hate the bulky sunglasses that fit over my prescriptions) does anyone know a good/ decently priced place that i can get them done? I heard of a place called eye q usa, anyone know if they are any good? (they gave me a quote-single vision w/ polycarbonate lenses for $250)
Just trying to get some info. thanks in advance!

Hey, welcome to the site. My wife is an optician at a local eye glass store. I'll ask her when she gets home from work.

Are you talking about riding goggles or those sunglasses with the foam around the eye piece?

I ride with a full helmet so I found one of my pair of regular perscription sunglasses works well. My wrap around sunglasses that I like the most don't seem to work as well. Move around in the helmet for some reason.

Not really answering your question, but if you use a full helmet a set of thick framed sunglasses tends to work pretty good. You don't need goggles or actual riding glasses.

Having to wear prescription sunglasses sucks.

Oh, and welcome to the board.

Well I was thinking of somethin more along the lines of these

This is the frame the guy quoted me on, it's a 5 in 1 so I could use it as goggles foam or no foam and they transition from clear to dark but the lenses will have my prescription in them. I just dont want to carry atound 3 pairs of glasses everytime i ride. I think im gonna end up just going with these, but I haven't heard to many things on eye q usa. We'll see how it goes.
Thanks for the imput guys!

Welcome flyinghog29!

Good luck with the glasses. 

Those you picked out look pretty good.

I've been told you should check out Rec-Specs. They have a motorcycling section and can be bought/ordered at Sam's Club. It's worth a look at least. Good luck and let us know what you end up getting.

They have some really nice choices.

I don't have a Sam's membership. I will have to see if Costco has something similar.

Also check Wal-Mart, they sell them, too.
