Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

High prescription sport Goggles

I have looked everywhere for some sunglasses to wear while biking I have Cocoons but they are huge and dont look very good. They also like to move around alot and i dont want them to fall off while racing.

My prescription is
-11.25 -2.75 x009
-11.5 -2.25 x 180

I was wondering if there were any prescription sunglasses i could get anywhere or am i just out of luck.
Price is really no problem as they get used everyday of the year and are my eyes windshield.

I haven't found anything. I have dry-eye problems (ie, foggy vision when it's cold). One of the guys in our club has prescription goggles, but my prescription is too bad for them. I've got a pair of side-shield safety glasses, and they may be a minor improvement over my regular glasses, but not much. They are the turn-dark-in-light lenses, so they do work okay as sunglasses, but they're not anything like a wrap-around style, either.

There are several companies that have prescription inserts. sporteyes.com, for example, fills up to a -12 for their flip up glasses. If you try to get a sun glasses with any curvature in the prescription lens, it just won't happen.
