Perscription driving glasses/goggles.
zetec - 21/3/10 at 11:02 AM

I'm looking for a pair of driving glasses. The type I'm after are the ones with padding on the frame to form a seal around the edge to stop the wind getting in. I've found a few with inserts to allow perscription lenses to be installed but not too locost...

Ideal would be wrap around, padded frame, normal style arms rather than a strap, interchangeable dark/light lenses and able to take a perscription lense...

I know it's a lot to ask but as the advert says " I'm worth it".

Anyone know of any?

Tesco's opticians had some in when I looked.

Might be worth a trip?

I have a pair of safety/reading glasses that I got from Boots Opticians.
Forty quid if I remember, although cheaper if you don't have scratch resistant lenses.

I just use them for welding stuff for paying customers.
Non-paying customers get their stuff welded without.

They fit my face tightly so would be good for driving, with the right lenses in.

Not sure if they look cool though.

Cheers

US eyewear websites used to be v.good value - worth a google perhaps (but check they deliver to uk).

another yes for ukeyeware.
I have 2 pairs of dixons, both bought at kit shows. Interchangable lenses, and you can get prescripton lenses fitted.
I wouldn't wear anything from a supermarket to protect my eyes
Might be at Detling??
