Is it possible to just buy frames from ebay and get prescription lenses from elsewhere??

Does anyone know if this is possible? Or has anyone done this?

With Oakleys I can say yes to the frames.
No idea abou percription lenses, but I see no reason why they wouldn't do it somewhere.

I use these and they are brilliant.

One fits under my helmet a treat.

Whilst great at it's job, not good if you plan on going out afterwards. It leaves a big horizontal indentation mark right across your forehead!

I believe getting curved prescription lenses such as those to fit wrap-around glasses may be possible but likely very expensive. I wear silhouette brand frameless prescription glasses. They are incredibly light, fairly small lenses and sit very snuggly. I wear them for batting, and have even put sunglasses over the top no problem. Or get clip ons, tho you may look like a Bee Gee!

I'm hoping to get clear lenses and something for if it's a bit brighter. I just struggle to focus at distance. It's not to the point where I run in the opposite direction yet. I wanted wraparound so for comfort in the field. Might take a trip to the oakley store to try a few pairs and then ebay it I think. Just wanted to make sure I could buy lenses separately.

In my investigations here in Oz, Oakley could do the curved lense but they had to be manufactured in the US! I ended up going with Rudy Project (lenses had to be made in Italy!) as I found a local supplier and it's great quality gear. The only problem is that with my astigmatism, I get a very slight fishbowl effect. I guess I'm used to my everyday flat lenses and I found it a bit weird to start with. In all honesty, if I could do it again, I would not go for the curved lense...just a sporty flat lense style (probably Adidas).
