    I’m looking to buy some appropriate prescription sun glasses for cycling. I have a -3 prescription which has meant that my current pair look a bit like jam jars… not a look I was after! Does anyone have any suggestions on brands, models and sources which would avoid that look?

    Thanks

    I’ve been buying my
    I’ve been buying my prescription sunglasses from Optilabs for about 10 years. I use varifocal lenses and they work really well. They have some frames with standard lenses With prescription inserts, but most have prescription lenses (which is my preference). They’re not cheap, but worth it in my view. I use mine not just on the bike but also for my everyday sunglasses.

    Think you should have plenty
    Think you should have plenty of choice with your prescription at that level, mine is nearly twice that! Oakley, Adidas, Rudy Project all do direct glaze sunglasses that would do the job.

    I’ve got some RP sunglasses with a clip on insert as my eyes are so bad they don’t do direct glaze above about -5 I think it is but this shouldn’t be an issue for you. They take a bit of getting used to & aren’t cheap but are worth the effort.

    I got mine online from RX Sport who I would highly recommend.
