Long sighted prescription glasses

[macp]

Evening one & all

I am very long sighted +7.25 & +6.25 and need new specs but I ride most days in all weathers. My thought was to get something more wrap around with transition lenses so I could wear them in all weathers and in the car in summer. Then a cheaper pair for the office etc but I am still struggling to decide what to do for the best.

Anybody else had a similar issue ?

Not much help but I feel your pain (+7.25, +7.5). I was at the cycle show last year and there was a company doing prescription shades, said high prescription was no problem. Damned if I can remember the company name though, sorry....

It possibly won't help but.......... I've got eyes the other way ie. -7 ish, and ASDA (for me anyway) have given an excellent service. Probably the best glasses I've ever had at £39 (varifocal, high index). They have a pricing of 'these are the frames at £39, £79 or £119 and the lenses are included, be they high index, photochromatic, vari-focal (or even all 3 at once).

I’m longsightedness but nowhere near your level.

As I can see what I’m doing on the bike I just keep a pair of cheap reading glasses in my pack, like £2.50 cheap, my optician was happy to suggest the best number to get for them.

Get laser treatment.

I am +8.0, +8.0. I wear soft contact lenses when cycling/running. At work I put my specs on.
