I'd do your research on transistion lens, they eventually wear out and then you've got heavily tinted glasses.

Wife's and mine are 2 years old and haven't 'worn out' yet. Will be getting new perscription in July, so I know they will last that long.

Sounds like you need to explain to the fiance that you and the bike come as a set. My dealer quoted me almost $300 for the panoptyx. That's why I stayed with regular tinted polarized bifocal glasses.

Ride Safe.

I was looking Bobster Eyewear www.bobster.comTheir frames are around $40 to $50 and single vision polycarbonate transitional lenses are $154

Tripper - bi-focal polycarbonate transitional lenses are $198 - There's a little bit of savings.....

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find any local dealers in the KC area that carried the line - I wanted to try the frames on before ordering. I did email them to see if they have a "Try & Buy" deal - got a response back very quick. Here's what they said"Yes anything you order and you don’t like you can send them back for a full refund" I'm not sure how well that would apply to Rx orders. I didn't want to deal with the hassle of sending frames back and forth mostly due to the TIME factor. I ended up going with Wiley-X. My i-doc just happened to carry that brand and BONUS - my vision plan from work covered most of the cost. I did ask about the transition wearing out over time - that is true as well. The optometrist said it'll prolly last 3 to 4 years. Not going to worry about that either - My vision plan allows me to get an exam & frames every year.
