ORIGINAL: Duracell
I just bought some Panoptx prescription riding glasses. They are clear at night and darken up when in the sun, Transitions I think it's called. Only had 'em a week but I like them so far. Hope that helps.

My Vision was 20/800 and 20/850 I always struggled with contacts (-9)-glasses tinted clear Lens so thick I let NASA borrow one for the Hubble..
I had the LASIK... BEST $$$$$$$$ I ever spent. I would do it again in a heartbeat.
I dont know if you are eligable, but look into it. Good Luck brother.

I have a pair of dark tint for day and yellow for night. I use WileyX XL-1's with the foam gaskets. love'em. Paid about $170 each. I have my distance correction and moved the bifocal lower for map reading but it's low enough not to cover the speedo when looking forward.

If you can wear contacts, try the contacts that are setup for one eye is for distance,(dominate eye) and the other eye is set for reading or computer distance (as in my case), I carry a small pair of magnifier glasses for reading small print. I can ride with whatever eye protection I want and on my Ultra sometimes I forget to wear glasses at all. I use the transition glasses so I don't have to change from daylight or to darkness. This works for me. Good luck.

Go with progressive lenses for your glasses. They work great.
I've used progressive lenses for several years and would never think of bi or tri focal lenses.
When I ride my bike I wear multifocal contact lenses. They are basically a progressive lens for contacts. That way I can use my Panoptix photochromatic lenses forbright sunlightor dark conditions.
I suggest you see your eyecare professional and they'll get you on the right path.

Transition lenses aren't polarized.......a BIG negative in my opinion. I have my clear glasses, and my polarized sunglasses. I can see up close without correction, so I just look over/under my glasses when I need to see up close. So far I can't stand to wear progressive or lined bi-focals, so I don't.

I have worn glasses for 40+ years. Last year bought the Willey-X Brick with transition. I normally wear bifocals but went with the single vision on the Willey's. They also have a good seal around them to keep out foreign objects.
They were a bit pricey but I like the convenience of just a single pair of glasses for night and day.
