Sorry, don't know if I am reading this right.
Basically replacement lenses for sports glasses for £20??? Or do you already have the lenses??

Its the sports glasses that have bog-standard non-prescription colouredlenses in them BUT also have a little clip-in mini-frame inside them (like a small pair of inner glasses) and its the mini-frame you can get glazed with prescription lenses and yes the price is £20 Hope that helps. Edit: Looks similar to this: www.cheapglasses123.com/images/S013redblackside.pngYou can see the mini glasses inside the sports glasses. My set of sports glasses was £10 from amazon (I think they are knock-offs of Oakley) so with the £20 lenses it will be £30 the lot. The glasses have 5 different coloured lenses that are interchangable. A good deal I think.

Holy Moly Batman! Hold the press! When the hell did these start being made?!?!
I need to get me some of this!!
So get a pair like that with prescription inserts, where are the £10 pairs? and then get lenses crafted by said company for £20 a pair???

I have like -1.5 and - 1.75 From the Amazon page Package List: 1 x Sport Glasses Frame 1 x Myopia Frame5 x Lenses 1 x Hard Protection Box 1 x Elastic Sport Belt 1 x Movement Head Harness 1 x Lenses Pouch & Cleaning Cloth I'm very tempted at this price, nearly bought some a few years ago when I saw some frames at £20 but got silly quotes for glazing from high st optitions. In the end got new glasses with 'free' sunglasses from Boots as they seemed to wrap round nicely when I tried them but the finished article was much straighter and didn't offer the protection I was looking for. I have heard some negative comments about this type though, problems with misting up and not being able to wipe the inner lens and that the inner frame means the protective lens is further from your face leaving a gap round the sides.

Gotta be better than cycling with my normal glasses?? Depends on the normal glasses, modern styles have small lenses which don't give much protection but an optician I know chooses a large framed michael caine style over the inserts for cycling as they are too close to his eyelashes. At these prices it's not too much of a risk if you don't get on with them.

I got a pair of cyclng glasses like the ones Chaz mentioned and got the prescription inserts done too for £15 from www.lensreglaze.com/. Very impressed with them. Usable for other sports too so result!

Yeah that's what I worry about, I have really long girly eyelashes...therefore if they are too close to my eyes it gets right on my teets!
