Additional Info For those of you that run across this thread in the future, I wanted to share what I just found -- that I am not alone. Google "wrap prescription sunglasses distortion."

Right pair Well, I do not know that I would go that far. I mean as a cyclist you want a wrapped pair. I will agree I have some more ideas on things to look into.

Lenscrafters Visit Update Spoke with a Lenscrafters manager today. Very nice guy. He inspected the lenses and confirmed they are single vision and genuine Oakleys. He also confirmed the lenses matched my prescription. I explained to him how I feel much lower to the ground than reality when I am...

Response I looked at the prescriptions lenses. I can't see where the prescription ends if it is not edge to edge. The lenses should be single vision. That is what I ordered. I thought some more about how to explain what I am experiencing. On the bike I feel like a midget. Speed appears/feels...

I will. I want to give you'll feedback, and I hope our discussion will help someone else out.

I would describe the distortion when I am cycling to be when I am looking through the upper/top part of the lenses... I think. I am actually not sure believe it or not. I was wondering if it was the XLJ lenses. No, I can't see where the prescription ends. Can you explain what I should look for...

Another optician I just looked on Oakley's website and called another optician. I picked a chain called Lenscrafters. I learned the add on my prescription means progressive/bifocal lenses. I have no idea what my Oakley are -- single vision or progressive/bifocal. The Lenscrafter manager I spoke...

Try what please?

Correct on the Oakley "O" for telling if they are genuine. I checked this out before I selected an optician. I received this information directly from Oakley when I first inquired about ordering my prescription lenses.

No, they are not polarized. With polarized lenses black ice and water puddles become almost invisible. That is why I went non-polarized. Yes, both orders had the Oakley logo on them. I used an optician a cycling friend used for standard Half Jacket prescription lenses. My friend has no...

Uhhhhh... I thought all prescription lenses were the same??? I will use the sunglasses for everything except night driving or inside a building. The distortion is I feel like I am on a small circus bike. Things are closer than they appear. I found out that when I almost hit a car and then later...

Do you think that would work? I mean the optician has nothing to do with the order other than relaying it to Oakley as far as I know. I mean Oakley manufactures the lenses no matter what optician you use.

The optician at first tried to state there was nothing wrong with the first order. I went by in person, and they spent a lot of time with me. They tried to get me to get another exam, but that solution made no sense to me as far as relating to the problem. I did not get another eye exam. The...

Response Got the lenses this month. The optician did sent the first order back to Oakley. The optician stated Oakley did find the order to be out of their tolerances and redid them. Whatever Oakley did the second time around did not fix the problem. The optician will be refunding all my monies...

Response Through an optician. You cannot get them directly from Oakley.
