Whats different with Cycling prescription sunglasses compared to everyday sunglasses?

Cycling Prescription Sunglasses with Inserts

Prescription inserts still have a place in the Cycling market for customers who have high prescriptions and require different lens colour options in the main sunglasses.

It is also a cost effective way to purchase sunglasses that will cope with different light conditions or environments. Such as road cycling on bright days to mountain biking through a dark woodland needing a low light contrast lifting lens or maybe even clear lenses.

Benefits of Cycling Prescription Inserts

The prescription inserts can be removed, ideal for contact lens wearers.

The outer lens can be changed easily. Providing a set of sunglasses very cost effectively for a different purpose, or adapting to different weather and light conditions.

Cost effective, only the non-prescription front lenses need swapping or the prescription inserts lenses can be changed easily if the Rx changes.

Great for high prescriptions that may not be suitable for direct glazing, due to the lens temporal edge thickness being to thick.

How are visor shield sunglasses fitted with prescription lenses for cycling?

Two holes are laser cut out of the holding visor lens. These then have the prescription lenses neatly inserted. This is great as creates one layer rather than having two with traditional inserts. So better vision using wrap around lens technology and less fogging up from dual lenses.
