patches Posted July 28, 2011 Posted July 28, 2011 Bernard Volschenk (optometrist at ASG) quoted me R4000 for single and R5000 for multifocal prescription after I enquired yesterday on replacing my Rydon standard lenses with prescription lenses ouch! Seems the R3600 I was quoted wasn't too bad then. And that was for polarized too.
jules1976 Posted July 28, 2011 Posted July 28, 2011 Thanks for the correction gents regarding the polycarbonate materail used for the maunfacture of lenses.
Caerus Posted July 28, 2011 Posted July 28, 2011 Its for those very reasons why I never went the Rudy Project route, replacement lenses are crazy prices.
Caerus Posted July 28, 2011 Posted July 28, 2011 ouch! Seems the R3600 I was quoted wasn't too bad then. And that was for polarized too. The lenses for my adidas cost me just under R2000,
patches Posted July 28, 2011 Posted July 28, 2011 The lenses for my adidas cost me just under R2000, was that a complete new lense made by an optometrist to suite the frame? Or was it those little round ones that go in the adidas optical insert?
Caerus Posted July 28, 2011 Posted July 28, 2011 (edited) was that a complete new lense made by an optometrist to suite the frame? Or was it those little round ones that go in the adidas optical insert? Yeah, a full size lens done by my optomotrist , I can't do those inserts.

ADe Posted July 28, 2011 Posted July 28, 2011 Darcs - tough and cheap? Agree. And comes with interchangeable lenses. Perfect for MTBing.
leet22 Posted July 28, 2011 Posted July 28, 2011 Agree. And comes with interchangeable lenses. Perfect for MTBing.Yip got me self a pair as well and they have been dropped ridden over etc and still ok
RedRover Posted July 28, 2011 Posted July 28, 2011 Agree. And comes with interchangeable lenses. Perfect for MTBing. D'arcs are great, still have my pair with four options for lenses. But the pain of deciding in advance what lenses will be needed on the day made me move to photochromic lenses.
Moolz Posted July 28, 2011 Posted July 28, 2011 Jawbones!!Pity they are so expensive!Got quoted on photochromic lenses - R1500 to R1700!!!!For lenses!!!!! Before I got the Jawbones, I used a pair of Diesel (Star Uncle which were pretty decent...Point being - cycle in whatever you are comfortable in...
