Motorcycle Prescription Sunglasses have the meet the same rigorous requirements of regular motorcycle sunglasses. They must provide 100% UV protection, must be shatterproof and scratch resistant, be optically correct, provide anti-fog protection and most of all be cool. Having features such as foam padding (whether removable or not) is also an important consideration for motorcycle sunglasses. Basically, motorcycle sunglasses must protect your eyes in the most extreme of conditions.
Motorcycle Prescription Sunglasses must also be suited to your prescription. Not all lens/frame combinations can handle all prescriptions. To a large extent the prescriptions that can be handled by a particular lens/frame combination is dependent on the curve of the lenses. The more curve the less prescription the lens will be able to handle.
Most optical shops are able to offer basic prescription sunglasses that are very similar to your regular glasses. These however often don’t meet the demanding requirements of motorcycle prescription sunglasses. While they are often stylish, they won’t stand up to the rigors of dust, bugs and other airborne matter coming at you at high speed. However, the optical shops can substantially help you in getting prescription sunglasses that will work when riding your motorcycle.
The best way to find prescription motorcycle sunglasses is to have someone who familiar with the demands placed on the glasses by motorcycle riding help you through the process. To order prescription motorcycle sunglasses I would recommend using the following process:
- Get your eyes examined by your doctor. This will provide you with the basic information needed for your prescription. This information consist of the following information:
- Right Eye (OD) SPH CYL Axis
- Left Eye (OS) SPH CYL Axis
- Right Eye Add (for bifocals)
- Left Eye Add (for bifocals)
- In some cases the doctor may also provide you with the Pupil Distance (PD) but often this is obtained from the optical shop where you would get your regular prescription eyewear.
- Once you have this information find a shop that specializes in providing motorcycle prescription sunglasses, and provide this information along with the desired type of lenses. Many shops have the ability for you to select the frame style, lenses and provide your prescription information online.
- When the information has been provided to the shop make sure that they verify your prescription information and provide you with options for frames. The options should provide you a list based on face size.
- Approve the order and pay and the job is done.
