Anybody have tips for finding proper prescription cycling glasses online?

I've been using ultra budget Sirokos with an insert clip for a couple of years, but they fogged up then the bugger of a clip snapped trying to resolve it today.

The combination makes me think it might be worth sorting a proper pair, but difficult to find options online.

Id prefer to get it in one swoop (fill in prescription and get sorted glasses delivered) rather than glasses and glazing separately. So easy with all my other glasses!

I used RxSport.co.uk for some prescription Oakley sunglasses around 5 years ago and they're still going strong.

Based off the A1 near Peterborough if you're relatively local. Also used them afterwards for some standard Oakley glasses and were happy to do a deal based on previous custom.

I got some from Optilabs about six months ago, thread on here somewhere.

Thanks a lot - I would like to get the bling Oakley's but extra cost of prescription off-putting, even on those sites.

I got some Oakley Crosslink Zero with prescription Transitions lens last year, cost was £115 from The Glasses Company.

Admittedly they’re not full on wrap arounds or from the Oakley cycling range, but they’ve been excellent on and off the road.

+1 for Optilabs - I am on my third pair and would definitely use them again.

The wrap around is essential when you get a bit of speed up - now I can see where I am going.

Before getting them my eyes would start watering at 30 mph and everything went blurred . . . . . .

I have a few pairs of Oakleys, last time around (when I damaged them :roll: ) I had them re-glazed by Spex4Less. if you know the prescription etc, get them done through them at a fraction of the cost.
