I'm trying to track down some decent prescription sunglasses (with interchangable lenses) for running/biking.

Anyone have any luck with specific brands/supplier/optometrist?
I'm in (Western) Australia.

Cheers.

Pick Me Fat Cat!

You will even be able to see when you take up paddling and swimming.

I see "Perth's leading eye surgery clinic - 19,000 successful surgeries" and my first thought is "...and how many botched ones, where the patient didn't get a sculpted jaw line and flawless skin?"

Wally: swimming and paddling i should be fine - managed for many years in the surf club. Riding and running are the main issue due to when I go bush and I can't tell the difference in the bush...

cheers BoltBoi will have a peek.

Got mine from Specialeyes, but most opticians should be able to offer you a range.

contact lenses + 'normal' sunglasses?

I use daily disposable contacts so only put them in when I'm doing sports/want to wear sunglasses

the problem You'll find with prescription sunglasses for sport is that hey have to have a straight lense or you get distortion and flat lenses don't work/look good in sunnies
