And do the lenses end up positioned such that they still work okay?<br /><br />It was around 5 years or so that I had to admit that I wasn't a kid, and got progressive lenses. However, I never did put progressive lenses in my bike sunglasses. The optician said that progressives might not work well with the Bolle glasses, and I didn't feel like gambling on it. Plus... how often do I need to see small stuff while riding? I do bring my regular glasses with me, so I can always see stuff if I really need to.<br /><br />My Bolle glasses are getting old and falling apart, so I began looking for a replacement. A person on the Randon list mentioned the Uvex Genesis safety glasses as being a low cost option. The glasses themselves are only $10 or so, which is incredible for a decent looking pair of sunglasses. The insert for prescription lenses is about $25, which is still quite reasonable. I just got single vision lenses for the Uvex Genesis and have used them for a few hours. They seem to work just fine. They won't be as stylish as the Oakleys, I'm sure, but at least there's not much risk of looking back 20 years from now and regretting spending a lot on a cheesy fashion item. :-)<br /><br />Let us know how the Oakleys work out.<br /><br />Steve in Peoria, where I need to use my glasses all of the timeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
