Has anyone found and enjoyed prescription sunglasses? My normal glasses are no-line bifocals. Help. Thanks

I have transition lenses in mine. I just go and don't think about it. They are light inside and dark outside. When I want darker I put on a pair of coccoons.

I do like Dayne said. I have progressive lenses. I put sunglasses over my prescription glasses. I have a kind I think are called Fit Overs. They didn't have Cocoons at a local store. I like the Fit Overs.

check out Oakley.com
Many of their glasses you can get with Rx/prescription lenses.

I have a set of 'goggle' style RX sunglasses that I got primarily for riding my motorcycle, but they're also very well suited to fishing. $125 at Wal-mart, including polycarbonate lenses (lightweight - very important as I have severe astigmatism), scratch resistant, etc.

I've tried the Cacoons, way too bulky for me. Went to WAlMart w/Rx and got a pair for $125.00 wrap arounds. Look out Ringfry!

I won't wear contacts. So I am stuck with my progressive lens. Even with them I have a hard time seeing how to tie knots sometimes. Reading small print is out of the question too. I will remember Bolle's the next time I need sun glasses. I am 48 now and might have to go to a full bifocal for my next rx glasses....only problem is I have astigmatism too. Do the Bolle's offer side protection as well? I have never seen or heard of them before.

Has anyone found and enjoyed prescription sunglasses? My normal glasses are no-line bifocals. Help. Thanks Years ago I used prescription polarized sunglasses. They've got way to expensive, plus they do not block the sun from the side. Now I wear my regular no line bifocals and a pair of cocoons and they work great.....Prescription sunglasses that are not polarized are a waste of money....

There is a little gap at the corner of the eye on the side but not a noticeable amount of light coming in.

The WalMart in Tyler on south Broadway. They are designed for motorcycles, but they are polarized. They are found in their Vision Center.

I wear the polarized fit over type with the side protection. They are bulky but I love them. No light gets in from the top or the sides so it makes the polarized vision that much more. I think they look goofy, but are very handy

I think they look goofy, but are very handy That is what I,ve been using, too. They are great at filtering, but I would be much happier if I could achieve the same result with smaller frames. I guess it's time to get my prescription renewed!

I use prescriptiom Costa Del Mar. I only have the single prescription for distance. I did not get the slight correction my Rx has for close up. I just flip them up when I need to tie or see well inside 2 ft. Pricey at over $275.

Had the rx lenses put in my ray bans(wrap around) and i actually wear trifocals. Cost about 450 extra but well worth it.
