PRESCRIPTION SKI GOGGLES: IS IT NECESSARY? WHERE DO YOU BUY THEM? AND HOW DO YOU LIKE IT?
The Outdoors
If, like me, you’re an avid skier (or snowboarder), then you know that you can’t do without goggles with a good UV filter during winter sports. This is because the reflection of light on snow is so intense that you can suffer from snow blindness without them. Fortunately, you will find plenty of sunglasses and winter sports glasses in stores and online. But what if you wear prescription glasses in everyday life?
PUT PRESCRIPTION CYCLING GLASSES AT THE TOP OF YOUR WISH LIST
The Bike
Do you recognize that urge to buy new parts, tools, clothing or even a new bike? New cycling glasses are usually pretty low on that wish list. Let alone prescription cycling glasses.

Fortunately, SpecialSpex came my way and I decided to order prescription cycling glasses through their website.
THE JULBO ULTIMATE IN STRENGTH

Simple to clip into your glasses and not necessarily expensive. I don’t like wearing lenses and this was the ideal way to go lensless and have sunglasses on at the same time. Time for prescription sunglasses.

ALL OPTIONS FOR PRESCRIPTION CYCLING GLASSES
Cycling Story
Myopia and age (read: too little elasticity of the lens) necessitate a lot of cyclists among us to use progressive glasses. For years, we made do with ordinary prescription glasses, but in strong sunshine, with our eyes squeezed shut, things get a little tricky. Speeding down a mountain at high speed is guaranteed to cause annoying swirls and thus some tears. Ordinary sunglasses are no longer sufficient to read the letters on your bike computer. But what are the options for prescription cycling glasses?
WINTER SPORTS WITH GLASSES, TRICKY? NOW NO MORE!
Ski.co.uk
It must have been sometime in the early 1980s. Yours truly was coming out of the Pinzgauer Kanne around closing time, then the entertainment venue of Neukirchen am Grossvenediger. Great partying, dancing, bubbling. In short, I went out with a heated head around two in the morning. Another hour or so of uphill walking awaited me to get to the apartment.
LOOKING FOR PRESCRIPTION CYCLING GLASSES
Cycling Tours.com
After a weekend of cycling in the Ardennes, enough was enough. My old BBB optionview cycling glasses no longer sufficed. The age and the circumstances made that while cycling on the hills of the Ardennes I had to deal with fogged up glasses, too small print and light and dark influences of the woods. As a result, I could no longer read the route on my bike computer properly which did not improve safety. Going down at 20% and not knowing whether to turn left or right at the bottom of the hill.
