Does anyone else have this problem?
I have 2 pairs of Oakley Sutro's and now need glasses to read my Garmin....
Do I need to bite the bullet on the Sutro's and get some proper prescription shades?
I wondered if them inserts were any good? A few folk say they just don't work, so don't bother.

Bi-focal sun glasses such as these work really well for me:

The inserts aren't to bad, just about usable for reading a cafe stop menu but I wouldn't want to wear them for say a multi day trip or read a book. I've used them in Oakley knockoffs and also work respirator masks so you kind of get used to them. Personally I use some prescription optilab sport glasses or my normal glasses.

I just wear ordinary prescription sunglasses.
Opticians often do a free or cheap second set so I do that. I usually get the cheapest varifocal (so the smallest area is for close work) and with biggish lenses to maximise protection, wand hen they don't get broken it doesn't really matter.
Obviously this isn't even vaguely fashionable but as the only people I see on my rides are sheep this hardly matters.
