prescription sunglasses for cycling

Pretty sure there was a similar thread here not too long ago but it's not showing up in a search.

My optician could only come up with sunglasses that required inserts for the prescription lens and I reckoned they would be a bit of a nightmare in mist or drizzle. I eventually found a recommendation for Optilabs online and bought a pair of cycle specific varifocal reactolite sunglasses that are brilliant for cycling, sailing, hillwalking and everyday use. Not cheap but I get great use out of them and the firm were very helpful when it came to choosing the exact specification. https://www.optilabs.com/product-category/sport/cycling-sunglasses/

I bit the (expensive) bullet and went for a pair of Oakleys - I think in the region of 450eur or something like that :( but they have Oakley prescription lenses as the actual lenses...not the clip-in inserts. they can also do varifocals if you have trouble reading your Wahoo/Garmin screen

They're also photo chromatic or whatever it's called, so they are great for any conditions. Lot of money I know, but there were also Rudy Project glasses available that have the option for actual manufacturer prescription lenses too. They were not too far off the same price, so I went with the Oakleys as I've been using that brand basicly since I was a Junior back in the 80's (early adopter! ha!).

Anyhoo, recently I got a pair of Tifosi glasses, with the clip-in inserts. Just got them for driving because I find that photochromatic lenses don't darken in the car...they seem to need direct sunlight I think. I tried them out for a spin and they were grand, but you're aware of the inserts, and as someone mentioned above, I'd be weary of them if it was damp/wet although maybe they'd be just fine? They were a fraction of the cost of the Oakleys.

I bought both pairs from the same guys (https://www.rxsport.co.uk/categories/Prescription-Sunglasses/ ) - you just fill in your prescription into their website and they get them built for you. So obviously you will need to just get your prescription printed out from your opticians and that's all ye need basically - well, if you're lucky enough to be a handsome divil like me that can wear any pair of glasses and still look incredible :D (ha! only joking of course...kinda :D )

I was considering prescription cycling specs earlier this year. I haven't bought anything yet as it's more than two years since my last eye test and I haven't been arsed getting a new test. I had considered the pair in the link below but I've heard reports about fogging up with clip in inserts.

I like the Oakleys above but I'm struggling to justify the price - especially as I've been using the regular prescription shades for many years. However, if I look at the Oakleys for long enough I'll get over the price eventually!
