I've got polycarbonate transition lenses in my riding glasses with magnetic clip-on sunglasses but they don't wrap around the sides at all. I've never seen any in the optometrists either. I'd love it if I could get something with prescription lenses in the style of the non-prescription ones cricketers wear. My teenage kids think they're daggy but they clearly have no style at all!
I've seen people with tinted plastic pieces that clip onto the arms of the glasses, that would do if there was nothing else. Maybe some of the industrial safety glasses mobs would have them. I'll go have a look. And I'll be watching this thread with interest.

Good, Fast, Cheap, pick any two!
Ronnie,
I wear prescription wrap around glasses and it is quite a process, there is a border line to which they can curve lenses depending on your magnification, and the Height and width of the lens makes a difference, The first thing you must do is find an optometrist that deals with sport optical ,,this is important to get your peripheral vision right in a wrap around especially if you swap back to normal flat clear glasses at night.
some of the Big companies like Oakley, Ray Ban, Rudy Project, Arnette Mako ( made in Qld which i have at the moment ) will make to order from the States with about a 6/9 week turn round, I've had Rudy Project in the past and where Great they are a specialised Cycling sunny, you can get Iridium and or polarised, My current sunnies are Browny Green lens which gives the best depth of field than grey lenses,,
I think transition lenses are not so good for one they require UV light to change colour, and your car windscreen or helmet visor filter the UV so they don't Darken,
The Sunny companies spend heaps on their web sites, I spent a far mount of time lookin before i ordered,
Chat soon.........
