Trifocals from SportRx.

Loads of options but I use Oakley's.
Nice and tough

I don’t use bifocals but I do wear glasses for distance, so can’t ride the mtb without them. I just use my prescription glasses and prescription sunnies when it’s bright and sunny. Never really thought about buying specific riding glasses, touch wood I’ve never damaged my glasses either. They sometimes get caked it mud, but I just leave them on in the shower after a ride.

I have Oakley Sutro S with a prescription insert from SVED Optical. I tried a pair that were direct glazed from another brand but the lens distortion made me dizzy, I was getting motion sickness anytime I’d ride.

Do you mean like a secondary pair of glasses inside the glasses?

Basically yes, it’s an insert that clips into the nose piece that holds the prescription lenses. I have inserts for both my sunglasses and my goggles, it’s what I’ve found works best for me.

Fair enough.
I couldn't get on with them, found that they ended up like blown double glazing.
I use prescription glasses which are expensive but having tried contacts as well there just like normal bike glasess.
The two sets in one just seem to fog up basically.
Yeah it's like £1500 for 4 pairs of prescription glasses of different colours etc but that's what works for me.

I have recently invested in a pair of Rudy rydons with a varifocal prescription lens insert, I also have the photochromic lens and option to change that to a different lens, really like them

Same, have multiple sets of Rudy glasses and move the inserts or swap lenses as required.

I tried an insert set of riding glasses, but just didn’t work for me. Next option is to try the OTG safety glasses, but if they don’t work I’ll go back to full OTG mx goggles which I used to use when riding off road. I can wear my normal multi focal glasses underneath and don’t need to spend extra when my prescription changes.
