hey all
just wondering if anyone has got (or knows someone who has got) prescription lenses put into their seabreeze sunnies. Started kiting a month or so ago and would learn a lot faster if things werent that bit blurry. the prescription is not that strong but the optometrist says she cant tell without seeing them in the flesh.
cheers![]()
Oakley used to make sunnies that looked similar to seabreeze sunnies that were suitable for prescription lenses so I'd say th chances are good. Ask about contact lenses as well, I made the change a while back and found them a far better option.
thanks for that. do the glasses fog up or hold water droplets and make it difficult to see? particularly when im a learner and seem to spend a fair amount of time under water. maybe contacts are the better option?
They do fog up a bit if your not moving but clear quickly when you get going again, water droplets aren't a problem. I still wear sunnies with contacts to stop water splashing in my eyes and washing the contacts out but now when I lose a pair of sunnies its $70 rather than $500(only lost 1 contact in 4 years).
definitely try the contact lenses
i have been using them for years surfing, sailing and kiting and they are really good. minimal losses.
1 day disposable contacts...doesnt matter if you lose them, and no cleaning hastles/less chance of infection.
id have laser if i was brave enough though. ![]()
I have done that a few times over the years.
It is dependant on wether your strength in lenses is
available in plastic.
and instead of stretch ties to keep them on
I found a shoelace is best, tied to each arm.
On a side note, I do a lot of cycling and running, would the seabreeze sunnies also be suitable for this or am I better of getting specialist sunnies for these sports? (And any recommendations...?)
Cheers
