Some prescription glasses is the answer, expensive for me now, just bought the bike.

 

Again I say this: "You don't need them. I ride with normal glasses. No problems at all"

I tried this, ended up having to replace the lenses in the normal glasses, plus eneded up having to get prescription riding glasses anyway. I would not recommend it.

I have been riding with normal glasses for over two years now and not once did I have any problems

Not doing yourself any favours by doing that, well with all them UV rays out there.

It has got UV ray filters and anti-glare builtin - had to have them as I have got very sensitive eyes

Good question.

I waited for this year to do it, and did it through my medical aid.

They submitted the claim etc, and I just paid in like R300.

They give a great deal if you buy the frame and lenses there, I think it all came in at R4k or so - maybe less.

Sounds like the Rolls Royce of lenses! Fancy-fancy. :)
