Will Frogskins take a -4.50 Sph prescription lens?
My first pair of Oakleys were some black Frogskins with Iridium lenses from the late 80s. I didn't need prescription lenses back then. Back then Iridium lenses only came in one tint: the orange tint that years later they would later call "Fire" Iridium lenses.
So that's what I'm trying to recreate over 30 years later. Some black Frogskins with Fire Iridium lenses, except this time with prescription lenses.
I also realize I have a reasonably strong prescription. Yeah I know I don't have like a -8.00 RX with coke bottle lenses or anything, but most of the sunglass frames on oakley.com say they my prescription is too strong to fit. Would I be better off getting "regular" (non-sunglass) prescription frames and try getting the Fire Iridium lenses cut for them? Do any places even do that? On the Oakley website they would not allow me to order prescription sunglass lenses in a non-sunglass frame. I was thinking maybe a Plank 2.0 or a Holbrook RX frame. Although I would much prefer a Frogskin or standard (not the RX version) Holbrook frame.
Thanks
