Rudy Project sunglasses are engineered specifically for sport, whether you’re cycling, running, playing tennis, golf, triathlon or any other active pursuit. Backed by over 30 years of Italian design, innovation and performance, Rudy Project has built its reputation on creating some of the world’s most advanced high-performance sport eyewear. Founded in Treviso, Italy, in 1985, the brand blends cutting-edge technology with meticulous craftsmanship and athlete-led innovation.
From the start, Rudy Project has focused on eyewear that enhances vision, protection and comfort during intense activity. Every pair delivers outstanding wind, sun and UV protection, with advanced lens technologies that support clarity and performance in changing light conditions.
Most Rudy Project frames feature lightweight, ergonomic Italian construction and are crafted with feedback from professional athletes to ensure they deliver a secure, comfortable fit even in demanding conditions.
If you choose direct glazed prescription lenses, we manufacture your lenses on the exact same curve as the original Rudy Project lenses. This preserves the intended shape, fit and performance of the sunglasses, ensuring they fit just as they would straight from the Rudy Project catalogue.
These high-definition lenses accurately recalibrate your spectacle prescription for the wrap and curvature of sport frames, enhancing peripheral vision and clarity. Importantly, premium non-branded and Genuine Rudy Project lenses aren’t available for all frame models, so please check compatibility at order.
Our sourced Premium Non-Branded Lenses lenses allow high-prescription builds (including strong prescriptions) at a fraction of the cost of purchasing directly from Rudy Project often around half the price of Rudy Project’s own Rx programme.
For many sport frames, an optical insert is a great alternative when direct glazing isn’t feasible or preferred. This removable insert clips neatly behind the sunglasses’ sport lenses, containing your clear prescription lenses.
Note: optical insert availability varies by frame - not all models support this option.
To complement your Rudy Project frames we offer both:
Both options enhance the performance characteristics of the frames - but availability depends on the specific model selected. We’ll confirm compatibility as part of your order process.

At Extreme Eyewear we have made some powerful relationships with world leaders in prescription lenses for curved frames in order to make sure we can deliver prescription lenses to the same quality as the leading brands.
Infact we have dug so deep into finding the right supplier the lens design we use in all the Rudy Project prescription sunglasses is two a generation in front of the lens used by rudy Project themselves if ordering direct at 3 times the money.
Traditional lenses when produced on high curves have disadvantages, including temporal distortion and image jumping. At extreme-eyewear we only use Freeform Digital lenses for Rudy project Prescription Sunglasses.
These clever new lenses are custom made, we don't use pre-made molds but instead each set of lenses is individually made as orders come in.
Before we manufacture the lenses we recalibrate your spectacle prescription taking into account the pupil Distance supplied, and the curvature of the your chosen Rudy Project Prescription Sunglasses . This doesn't just happen once but several thousands of times across the prescription lenses.
This creates a superiorly wide field of vision, and eases your eyes making prolonged wearing comfortable.
NXT is a revolutionary prescription lens material. Developed for Military Aircraft windscreens. The development was due to traditional materials such as polycarbonate having poor optical clarity and poor resistance to chemicals.
NXT has clarity is superior compared to polycarbonate (even Oakley still use polycarbonate which just shows how advanced Rudy Project Prescription Sunglasses are) in optics but also has the best strength, impact resistance and durability of any material.
NXT Varia lenses are their versions of transitions / reaction lenses. There are two versions which are amazing, described below.
Rudy Project Prescription Sunglasses with NXT Varia Orange to Dark Brown
These are amazing lenses, having a base tint of Orange which is constant and a reactive brown layer over the top. So even in bright conditions when the lenses react to full sunglass tint the orange in the lenses is still lifting your contrast and improving depth perception. Ideal for rapid changes in the light condition due to patchy clouds or cover from trees.
This version has a light yellow tint, this yellow tint is within legal limits for night driving / wearing. This makes the NXT yellow to dark grey ideal for commuters or nighttime sporting activities. As the orange tint lifts contrast so does the yellow base on this version.
