Prescription Running Sunglasses

Has anyone bought a pair of sports sunglasses that don't slip in race conditions with prescription lenses? Any recommendations?

I don't but was told by the optician before in the IFSC that they could fit lenses to a pair of sunglasses I had. Maybe ring them and check if possible if you buy sport sunglasses they can do this.

Contact lenses not an option?

There can be difficulties putting prescription lenses into wrapped sunglasses. I got a pair of Bole Pythons from my local opticians. I picked a few pairs from the website, the shop contacted Bole, who recommended Pythons for prescription.

If you’ve anything other than a fairly minor prescription, then most sports sunglasses (other than flat base 4)are out.

I went for the "out of the box" solution myself. Bought Tifosi Tyrant shades that have a bifocal reader area, perfect for checking the watch.
Only downside is the prescriptions are very basic 0.5 increments, but they're decent, sturdy shades. Cost about €50.
