The glasses and interchangeable lenses are fine, and then simply get the prescription fitted into the insert.

Been using them for 10+ years.
I now need variofocals and I got mine on offer for £199 IIRC.
I would not even consider wearing my day specs on the bike as they were over £600!
These are my current(will need to replace this year as they're 4 years old in June)
Photochromic/Variofocal.Never used the red strap no need as they've been on some serious MTB DHs and just don't budge
Wow they do look perfect plus so cheap at £199! My varifocals day glasses were £600 last year so I was dreading that I'd have to fork out similar price hence the reason why I wanted one that I could use for both cycling and skiing. Which opticians supplies them and were you able to try the frames out before ordering? What does IIRC stands for?

I really do miss wearing a pair of wrap round sunglasses but sadly they're no longer suitable for my eyes as I need varifocals, which for some reason, cannot be done on a wrap round framed glasses.

Do you need varifocals for cycling? I've worn varifocals for decades, but the glasses I wear for cycling are bifocal, distance and reading, I don't need the bit in the middle.

I can't get used to bi-focal so my riding glasses have to be the same as my day glasses!

Ignore the dark lenses, I immediately swapped them for the clear versions and the dark ones will probably never be used. And they look okay. With a brief off-the-bike test with the Garmin they certainly improve my view. They sit slightly away from the face, which is something I look for to minimise misting. The nose piece is adjustable and the whole thing is light and they feel okay when on. Doubtless I will need the washing up liquid treatment as usual.

I think these would only work if both of your eyes have the same prescription.
