Prescription Sunglasses
|
Hi everyone I'm looking to get a pair of prescription sunglasses. Does anyone have any recommendations? Thanks for the help! |
|
Raybans |
|
Costco or Warby Parker |
|
I have been using https://www.opticus.com for 30 years now. |

For glacier glasses, Opticus is great! |

Hi Jacob, I've been using smartbuyglasses.com/ in the past few years and never had a problem |
|
I have bought a number of pairs of glasses from Eyebuydirect.com The glasses are quality and very inexpensive. I pretty much only wear polcarized lenses, but they also have transitions that adjust based on the brightness. |
|
I bought some with a curved, slightly-wrap-around lens, and they distort my vision. I get motion sick if I wear them. |
|
I need glasses for near vision - I just buy a pair of sunglasses that I like and put in the magnifying stickers like these - hydrotacusa.com/?gclid=Cj0K… |
|
I like Smith Rx, but they are super expensive. |
|
Freespool Mag Rx from Smith. I use them on glacier as well and have used them BC skiing. They're great on rock, and for fishing, too! |
|
My comment would be, if you wear a helmet, to have that with you when you try on the frames. I have a pair of wrapped Oakley's that I love for hiking - great protection, great lenses, stay on really well without Croakies - but they sit funny with my helmet on and move around. Not comfortable. Whereas I have an old pair of Oliver People's frames that sit very comfortably with the helmet. |
|
Mine are Bolle. Not cheap, but worth the money. Remember to use Croakies! |

Because I'm lazy and don't feel like checking every site mentioned in this thread..... Do any of them make darker lenses than generally available? For example, Costco has pretty good prices but they won't make lenses darker than 80%, which I find inadequate in bright sun on light colored rock or snow. I once had a pair of Bolle glacier glasses that were only 8% transmission and they were fantastic in Yosemite. |
