Panoptics or WileyX. Either can be had with precriptions if you like. I prefer the Wiley with changeable lenses. My wife has a script with her Panoptics ... photochromatic ... loves them.

Another vote for PanOptx! A little pricey, but worth it! Make sure you clean the lenses with the provided cloth. Anything else will scratch! Wiley is also good. Less expensive too.

Good place for eyewear - reading glasses to sunglasses, is eyesave.com
Most brands including Panoptix
I have no affiliation - have used them and was happy

I have Ray Ban wrap around with Rx lenses. I have 2 pair one with dark grey polarized lenses and the other pair has transition lenses. Got them from Lenscrafters.

panoptx are great. however, make sure that you get the transition lenses. theyll cost a bit more, but its well worth it to have day/night glasses all in one.

a word of caution- a lot of people complain that they dont get dark enough in sunlight. while id like mine to be darker- theyre still good.

I wear contacts and have used some expensive glasses. hands down these are the best and at only $15 a pair. I wear yellow at night and the dark ones for day time. Highly recommended.

i don't agree, they are very good glasses for the price but the optics arn't great and they tend to "float" on my face at higher speeds. got some for me and the girl, for the price it was worth the gamble......a strap to tighten them to your head helps a bit but over all they have the feel of a cheap pair of glasses, jmo
