There are "biker" glasses that wrap around and can be made with prescription as long as the prescription is only mild to moderate. They can be made up tinted or clear. A couple of brands are SevenEye, Wiley X. Someone could get them no correction and use the insert. Maybe that's what you saw. I recommend them for wind protection for outdoor enthusiasts with sensitive eyes. I wouldn't think of them for skiing in the Northeast because they would not be as insulating against cold as goggles, but they'd probably be great where folks ski in sunglasses like out West.I saw a guy today with the inserts in wrap around glasses. They weren't really "sun" glasses, but more clear, so I spotted them on him. Thought, what a good idea. Prescription sunglasses don't usually wrap around, so it would be good for bikers, runner and skiers!!
Panoptyx is/became SevenEye. Pricey for sunglasses, but a great product for outdoor enthusiasts and folks with dry eye, some of whom get them in clear and wear them indoors! I have no financial interest.I have an old pair of prescription wrap around by Panoptyx..... similar I think to the ones mentioned above. They were great for skiing.
Sadly the prescription is really old but wonderful glasses for skiing......Panoptyx is/became SevenEye. Pricey for sunglasses, but a great product for outdoor enthusiasts and folks with dry eye, some of whom get them in clear and wear them indoors! I have no financial interest.
Get updated prescription and go to same vendor who sold you that pair, or deal with SevenEye on line. They may be willing to "refill" the prescription in the old frames if you bring/send them in. Of course they like to sell new frames, but they may want to maintain customer loyalty.Sadly the prescription is really old but wonderful glasses for skiing......
I've thought about it... Just got brand-new maui jim's progressive (>$800) but won't wear those skiing........... so would want another progressive lens in my panoplyx. Purchased over 10 years ago....Get updated prescription and go to same vendor who sold you that pair, or deal with SevenEye on line.
