I've been looking everywhere and I can't find any prescription glasses that protect the sides of my eyeballs.

    I believe you need to be a Pensioner and 70+ to wear these glasses but as you don't appear to be able to use Google I'm guessing you are 70+

    Just get an optometrist to fit custom prescription lenses.

    • deme on 09/10/2023 - 11:48

      How much does it normally cost to custom fit?

      • MS Paint on 09/10/2023 - 11:49

        I have no idea.

        My BIL has prescription glasses and has 2 clear plastic covers on the arms that protect the sides (he uses them instead of safety glasses at work).

        Like these

    You can get the side protection added from specsavers and the like.

    • deme on 09/10/2023 - 11:47

      Really? I can't see any glasses from them that have it?

      • TheGhost on 09/10/2023 - 11:49

        You have to ask them. It’s not cheap though.

    • Spets on 13/10/2023 - 13:03

      Nope, they don't do them.

    shouldn't you be asking an optometrist ?

    • deme on 09/10/2023 - 12:33

      To find out which places sells a type of glasses? Yeah they might know, but anyone could.

      It would be like asking a plumber where to buy a type of toilet.

      • altomic on 09/10/2023 - 12:37

        If you didn't, you wouldn't be asking on here would you?

        • deme on 09/10/2023 - 12:40

          Are you asking if I asked a retailer like Specsavers?
          Or if I booked an appointment with a optometrist just to ask hey.. um.. where do I buy these glasses?

          Repairing a toilet is very different than buying a type of glasses.

    Fitovers might help.

    have a look at the radar, and M frames
    they wrap around the face a bit and have prescription
    these are more sporty looking (golf, cricket, cycling)

    • deme on 09/10/2023 - 12:45

      These are perfect, thank you

      • djones145 on 09/10/2023 - 12:59

        nevertried prescription so cant comment but i love the radar especially if u have a bigger face.
        its is mainly plastic ( for sports so they get thrown around alot)

        but are very light. u can also get different colour lenses, some for different sports cause then enhance lighting ( like for road cycling or golf)

        head to an oakley store and try ( they have outlets but i doubt u can get precription on sale)

    There are side covers you can guy for sunglasses. I had a pair of ski style sunglasses that had something like these. Just google them I don't have a lot of luck trying to put in a link.

    Julbo does prescription glasses, and they're known for making mountaineering/glacier glasses with side protection (either wraparound or shielded).

    https://julborx.com/collections/all-products

    No idea if they are available locally though.

    • mrdean on 09/10/2023 - 14:06

      I have several Julbos & like them for their wraparound frames.

      Their sunglasses/goggles are available locally, through an outdoor sports distributor I believe.
