Good Sunglasses with reading lenses (bifocals)

bobzinger · 06-16-2008, 05:58 PM

I couldn't find the old post about Sunglasses with reading lenses so I started this new one. I had a pair of custom progressive bifocal sunglasses that got ripped off. After insurance they cost me $180. I just couldn't afford another pair so I started looking on-line. REI has 3 models but only in specific strengths but I went and checked them out at one of their stores. Their return policy is awesome so I bought a pair ($65) and am very happy with them...in fact they're MUCH better than the progressive sunglasses I had before.

These are sunglasses with a section that magnifies like reading glasses? Uh, not that I'd need any, just in case someone should ask.

Are you talking about prescription lenses or diopter that you can buy at WalMart? I got tinted safety glasses with the diopter inset and they only cost me about $10-12. The only downside is that I'd have to lop off the very end that goes past the ears to wear with my 3/4 helmet. I wear them all the time when I'm driving at work and they work super with my shorty helmet.

These are not prescription...just high quality sunglasses with reading lenses. I own 2 pairs of the $12-$15 safety glasses with reading lenses in them that I use in the shop, but I don't like the quality of the lenses. They're blurry when you looked to the sides. After a while it gives me a headache.
These glasses are polarized and have really great lenses. PLUS when you're wearing them no one can tell that they're bifocals!
