WileyX work well for me.
They did my script with bi-focal so I leave them on when making purchases so I can see to sign my name. I used to have to carry my glasses along, for I couldn't see to ride with them on beacause of the wind, even around my windsheild, and cant sign anything without them.
During last years exam the doc said he could set me up with some perscription shades, and the rest was history.
They cost me $150 out of pocket and I guess my insurance picked up $500 (I sure wouldn't have spent $650 out of pocket... and I couldn't be happier with them.

Interesting. My experience was different. I see better with my Wiley X glasses than with my normal reading glasses, especially peripheral vision because of the wrap-around lenses. My optician sent the order to Wiley X to make the lenses so that they would be optically correct, rather than having a set of lenses manufactured and popping them in the frame. You might consider giving it another try.

+1 on the fisheye
+1 on the fisheye. if your prescription is to high,you can't bend the lenses or the view will be distorted.kinda like the difference between a flat screen t.v. and the curved tube t.v. but magnified. i tried a wrap with snap in lenses behind the frame,they ran about 250.00 bucks ,but prescription didnt allow good vision through a wrap,even though the lenses snapped in they followed the curve of the wrap sunglasses.had to go with a more flat pair of standard sunglasses with safety lensese.they don't do the job of a wrap, and if anyplace tells you they can make them ,make sure they will give you ur money back if the don't work out. you may want to look into a pair of safety glasses with prescription lenses and the snap in side shields around them.
good luck

I have a set of GARNY BoulevardRx from ClassicGoggle.com... They are a wraparound type with a foam seal with clear, tint and yellow interchangeable covers. They use a seperate smaller insert lens for your prescription and have worked well for me... Recently had PRK eye laser, now that I don't need the rx, I can just leave out the insert... I wiil probably look into some transitions now that I don't need rx so I don't have to worry about switching lens colors...

for 10 years my local optician told me i couldn't have wrapped sunglasses due to my Rx and and i also have an astigmatism.. this yr with the purchase of the new street bob, i decided i would get rx glasses. i was tired of goggles, and searched the hell out of this forum.
this is what i got
Wiley X Airrage, with the removable foam eye cups. and i got them from SPORTRX.com i am 10,000% satisfied, i LOVE my glasses, they fit, look great and the rx matches PERFECT.. best 280 bux i have ever spent!! no more bug eye goggles!! and the foam comes out, so they can be regular sunglasses.

I really appreciate everyone's input. I'll check all the different links you are posting.
My presription is pretty light....I have prescription sunglasses now that I have had for a few years, I just can't ride with them. They are wrap around though, and I can see just fine out of them.....
