CogitoErgoSum Posted August 30, 2015 Posted August 30, 2015 Hi I got myself a new pair RP Rydon, and opted for Rx clip-ins. Now after two weeks, I notice that the insert is catching the impactx lenses on the inside and scratching it. Is this normal (hard to believe this being a > R3500 product)? Should I go back to the optom to sort it out? Perhaps ASG can help with more info?
Lurch the stalker Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 I don't know about that specific issue, but, in my personal opinion, I don't believe any of the Rudy Project glasses are worth owning, no matter what you pay for them. No issue from ASG's side swopping the frame under warranty on the ones I had an issue with, but, I've gone back to Oakley.
Erroli8a8 Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 go back to the Optom. they should not be rubbing. I have had a pair for almost 4 years now and I love them. wish I could use my contacts to ride with thou. I use the clip for all my riding.
ASG Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 They should definitely not be scratching - please ask your optom. If you do not come right please send a mail to Lizle@asgworld.co.za who will direct your problem to the right person in ASG.

CogitoErgoSum Posted August 31, 2015 Author Posted August 31, 2015 I am happy with them. Just a matter of getting used to riding with shades. Have never before.
Cycle Fan Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 I am happy with them. Just a matter of getting used to riding with shades. Have never before.Just as a matter of interest - have you found any distortion/discomfort? I've also just had the same setup made and I'm finding that the inserts just don't 'feel' right. It's like they are 99% fine but that 1% just makes my eyes strain a bit which makes them uncomfortable. This disappears if I put on my regular prescription sunglasses.

Also, I get a magnifying effect if I look down, say about less than a meter in front (ie when walking, going up stairs etc). Yet, according to the optom it is just a matter of "getting used" to them.

My optom reckons it may have something to do with the angle of the insert (that's it too 'straight'). My normal glasses have a slight 'tilt' to them. Very frustrating when you've spent so much money...

Very frustrating when you've spent so much money..."Luckily" the medical aid paid about a third ???????? Still bloody expensive. I will take my pair back so the technician can sort it out. I have found that when the lenses are completely dark, the feeling/experience is better. But when the lenses are at its lightest, the discomfort is greater. Anyway, the monies are spent... Just happy I can distinguish bumps from ditches now. Had a few close calls lately

Very frustrating when you've spent so much money...Iv had pair a few years and absolutely love the inserts and radon combo. I went with polarized lens to give optimum glare protection yes doesn't hv the versatility of the photochromic lense but offers maximum protection. It took me a few rides to adjust.
gtr1 Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 Loving mine. Haven,t had any issues. Only problem I have is when I turn my head to look back, if I catch it wrong I am then looking through the edge of the insert and creats a bit of a double........so I think 2 people are chasing me instead of 1. Makes me go faster :-)
