But night kills me. I have drove with ambers for so many years it aint funny. Now I have to wear the scrips that means I would have to possibly cary 3 pairs of specks. Geeze gettin old sucks. Anyways I had went to a bike rally last weekend and a vender there had some different glasses from cheapo to pricey depending on what you were looking for. He had a pair of the type that go over you RX glasses in the amber night lenses. I tried them on (it was night time) and was sold. I had bough an inexpensive pair of safety glasses that were amber with my RX for reading in them but like others had mentioned about thier polerized glasses they made me woozy after about 40 min at night driving with them.
I would have put an RX in my Oakley's but it would have cost me more to send them back and do that than it cost to get the new Costa's with my RX. lol
Similar issues but I decided to try multifocal contacts. Wooo Hooo
works like a charm. Bought a few cheapo pairs of sunglasses and no issues. I do have to add drops from time to time when riding (well when I stop that is) do to the air/wind drying the contacts out. If I have my visor down it's less of an issue or if I wear the sunglasses designed for motorcycle (close fitting and like a rubber boot around the inside).
