[RBW] Re: Prescription sunglasses with progressive lenses

2022-07-08 Thread 'Peter Bridge' via RBW Owners Bunch
James, I have been using Oakley Flak glasses for maybe 15 years.  I get 
them with progressive lenses and whatchamacallit changeable tint.  I'm on 
pair #3.  They are tough.  I like them very much, and I forget I have them 
on, which is about the highest compliment I can offer.

One substantial irritation - after 10-12 years the frame changed slightly 
and Oakly would no longer replace my lenses, so I have two pairs of %$%$@ 
unusable frames.  But I still like my current pair.

I had some Wiley WX frames made with progressive, photochromic lenses, and 
I was very unhappy with the distortion, especially in depth perception. I 
have had lots of other progressive lenses, so I'm used to the off-center 
blurring. These were much different.

My distance correction is mild, so "readers" are okay for me. I had been 
using Tifosi sunglasses for quite a while and liked them, so I was pleased 
to find they had some models with reader lenses as an option. The Veloce 
frame is what I use. They've been great for riding for me.
