Hi All,

I've read several threads on sunglasss (Rx, clip-ons, goggles ...) but I hope to get more opinions.

Here are the facts:

1) Background: I am long sighted in my left eye and myopic in the right, thanks to my dad. I'm 23.
2) Practice: Been wearing my Oakley reading glasses (designed for sport) for over a year when riding.
3) Problem: I've never ridden in the summer before, and recently my eyes are going all runny riding. I suspect my lenses are big enough to keep out dust and debris.
4) Solution(s): I cannot afford contacts, or prescription sunglasses, so I guess my options are either clip-ons or sunglasses that I can wear over my Oakleys.
- The clip-ons I see online seem pretty small. If they aren't much bigger than my Oakleys, then it'd defeat the purpose.
- Some OTCs do look a bit too dorky.
5) Budget: Max $80.
6) Questions:
- Are sunglasses that one wears over glasses prone to slipping off?
- What do you guys think of Cocoon wideline? It seems wrap around enough to keep away wind from the sides. But does it stay on the nose?

Thanks!

Why not save and suffer for a little bit and get some rx sunglasses?

Or even better get his prescription and order a pair online from china. They take about 3 weeks but my dad orders them this way and they are great. They cost about 25 bucks with shipping I believe.

That sounds good. Where'd your father order it?

Will you consider contacts? That will decrease the price significantly.

Is it true that wrap arounds dont work with Rx lenses?

Here are some reviews of made-in-China prescription glasses vendors: https://glassyeyes.blogspot.com/

Not true, but wrap around glasses without bulky inserts are not cheap.

1) Contacts + Sunglasses
2) Prescription + Sunglasses
3) Inserts + Sunglasses
4) Clip-ons
5) Flip-ons
6) Lasik + Sunglasses

I'd like a clip-on:its simple and cheap. But the ones I see so far are all non wrap-around. Anyone know of any?
