It appears that way. I've been using their sunglasses with readers for several years. Looking to get another pair and no luck. Now trying to find something to replace it with. What I had with Dual was a frame that had replaceable lenses, one clear and one shaded. Both with readers. Any suggestions?

I have been using Tifosi readers :

I've been wearing tinted safety glasses with a bifocal lens for over almost 20 years for both cycling and sailing. Clear bifocal safety glasses at night or very overcast days.

Hard to find a decent selection locally, so I have always bought them from the link given. There are other online sellers of safety glasses too.

As an aside, Mono Eyewear went out of business when the monocle went out of style. Sorry to the monocle wearers.

I switched over to Radians bifocal safety glasses: cheap, comfy, and they stay put on the bike. Not as sleek as Dual, but they get the job done. Plus, I won’t cry if I lose a pair mid-ride.

I had a pair of Tifosi BITD. I found them to be a good mesh of function and price. Unfortunately, I need Rx glasses now.

I've been using Overalls Sunglasses for several years, wearing them over my Rx glasses. They are relatively inexpensive, polarized, and keep most debris out of my eyes since they resemble safety goggles. They have little windows in the temple pieces so I have a little peripheral vision, too.

I assume the choice is a photochromic or transition type of glasses? If so, how dark do they get? I have tried some in the past and they did not get dark enough for me. Thus, I went with the type that I could change out the lenses.

Thanks for the links. Although I'm looking for a single pair that will do both sun and night (Dual glasses had removable lenses), I also use this type of sunglasses for work. Good to have another source besides Gemplers.

Are you saying I'm not stylish?

bitd?

Back in the day.

Photochromic lenses are not very dark, but I actually like that because they get completely clear for night riding. I do not have to bring two pairs of lenses for night/day riding. The only problem with photochromic lenses is that they stay pretty dark when it is cloudy outside during the day.

You always have been and will always be the pinochle of style!

The lenses on the Tifosi are quite nice. I was disappointed with the last pair of Dual-Eyewear glasses that I bought from them a few years ago. The lenses were not the same as the original Dual Eyewear glasses, too much distortion. I still have one of the original photochromic Dual Eyewear glasses that are very decent, not completely clear but much darker that the Tifosi during the day. I even e-mail Dual Eyewear to see if I can get the original photochromic lenses from them a few years ago, but had no response.

Zenni; readers as low as $6.95; who needs to change lenses? (Also, highest rating in Consumer's Report AIR).

You’re such a card.

As a retired eye guy, I can tell you the best spent money is a set of Wayfarers with polarized lenses. No, not cheap, but durable combined with good optics is a great choice. Brown polarized for a grey/overcast climate, grey for sunny climates. I have a pair that is ten years old and actually polished the white oxidation off the frame and put in new lenses. If you want or need side protection, then sport specific glasses may be better.

Another good choice is Marchon Autoflex frames. Light, durable, long lasting.

The only downside with polarized lenses is that it can wipe off the image coming from LCD displays. I had this happen today to me at an electronic kiosk. Push button? Where? Oh.....

Photochromic lenses are never fully the answer for a true sunglass, and some are still temperature affected. Most are based on polycarbonate lenses which are impact resistant but have poorer optics.

lol

I got the feeling they were "cheaping down" their product a little on my last order.

Whenever I have tried photochromic sunglasses, I have always been disappointed. I will check out Wayfarers. Thanks!

Wayfarers are iconic but performance sports style, they are not! If you are the type of person who thinks golf sunglasses and bike sunglasses and pickleball sunglasses are different, they will seem downright archaic.

Checked out Tifosi. Looks like a lot of options, except the two I'm looking for. Readers and exchangable lenses together in one set. So still looking. My passion is multiple day, ultra distance cycling/racing, so day and night conditions, with the necessity to pack light. Dual exchange lenses fit the bill, as I didn't have to have two frames.

Good point. Only problem for me: My cycling passion is multiple day, ultra distance cycling/racing, so day and night conditions, with the necessity to pack light. A second set of sunglasses won't cause the world to stop spinning, but will be a backwards step in packing efficiency. Plus, the frames are safer (usually) on my head than in a frame bag.

Optically speaking, you're right, and we'll put aside style for now.

There may be other problems with this style when it comes to cycling:
- If you ride in a leaned forward position, the upper frame can cause you to have to bend your neck upwards more to see below them.
- The wide temple pieces block peripheral vision
- The plastic nose pieces let them slide down the nose when sweaty or even just lubricated with sunscreen
