Anyone know where I can get a set of driving goggles with prescription lenses?

Cheers

Wiley-X do prescription lenses in the USA.
but they are expensive over here.
At least $ for £.

My std ones are $60USD and £60 here.
But they do do prescription lenses.

adidas used to make them. I went with glasses under regular goggles for a few years before seeing the light and wearing contacts and regular goggles for downhill bike racing. WAY better...

try THIS site. They aren't specificaly driving goggles but aviation stuff. One of the owners is a friend and work colleague of mine, if you mention my name it may attract a discount. Good quality stuff. recently did a favour for them and got me a nice pair of Biggles type goggles, which i can have tinted whatever colour i like. However, if its not what your after, just ignore me!

those goggles have inserts - I am pretty sure you can get some where the glass itself is presrciption lens.

try the main opticioans D&A, specsavers etc: but not Boots - they don'lt do them,

You could try a prescription windscreen?

Depends on your prescription, but if you wear jam jar bottoms it will appear from the outside that you have a MASSIVE head.

Or you could hold the world a little bit further away.

Glad to help

Gary, There are loads to choose from.
Search online for prescription motorcycle goggles. US imports should work out cheap to UK given current exch rate.
