Prescription sport glasses

billyhead

I have a mild prescrition for short sigthedness and would like to have 100% vision on the bike but not having to wear my normal day to day glasses when cycling. Just wondering where anyone would recommend I could get cycling lenses with my presciption in them. I have a set of BBB cycling glasses with numerous lenses for the different weather conditions so I could use the frame if i could get the lenses somewhere in Dublin or if online

I have Oakley precription glasses for racing, but I use these for winter training and commuting......Find them very good.

Is there anywhere in Ireland that you can get prescription lenses for Oakley?

I've three pair of Oakley with prescription lenses.

A clear set that I wear all the time and sun glasses.

The last pair that I got from from local opticians, they had the frames already in stock, so I was able to try them on and make sure they were right for me.

My advice is to check with your local / regular opticians.

For the Oakley Lenses can you buy online once you have your prescription from your opticians or is there an outlet/agent in Dublin these can be bought from?
Thanks.

I got my Oakleys in Vision Express some independent opticians do supply them as well. Couple of online options as if you have your prescription.
These were the best price I could find when I was looking last year.

I paid just over €300 but I got my frames half price as I had bought regular glasses. Still would have saved money buying them online. All prescription oakley lenses for Europe are made in Mullingar so you'd still be getting the same product and sort of buying local.

There is other cheaper online options or get a pair of sunglasses with inserts and get the prescription made up locally. I personally think my Oakleys were worth the money have transitions lenses and get a lot of use out of them as I can use them year round and at night. I may yet though get a cheaper pair of polarised online for those rare really sunny days or for use abroad

Excellent!
I already have Flak Jacket glasses so 144stg for the prescription lens sounds ok!
