Anyone with experience using Zenni prescription glasses under sunglasses?

[GuitarStv]

Hey all, Zenni optical offers these prescription sunglasses where they're a wraparound sun thing over top of a prescription - like this:  https://ca.zennioptical.com/p/halfrim-other-plastic-eyeglass-frames/7086?skuId=708621.  Anyone have experience with this type of glasses?

Given that my eyesight is really terrible (in the -9 range with some astigmatism), and that I can't wear contact lenses I need sunglasses for cycling.  Originally I stayed away from the glasses in glasses type because of fears of fragility/difficulty cleaning/and potential issues with fogging.  I've been using some tinted prescription glasses for the last few years and they do OK, but I'd really like a little bit more wind/dust shielding than they offer as the fit is rather flat and there's always stuff getting in around the edges.

Thoughts or experience?

Try looking up part #742823.  They're in the goggle category, but are kinda like sports glasses and can be ordered with tinted/polarized lenses.  I bought a pair because I wanted something like safety glasses when I have big chips of stuff flying at my face.

Thanks!

These ones - https://ca.zennioptical.com/p/prescription-sport-goggles/7428?skuId=742823?  They look along the lines of what I want.  Some concerns about the transparent frames letting light through in bright sun and causing weird glare problems from light angling through them - do you have any issues with that?

Yes, those are what I have.  After sending the message and went and tried them on again and remembered why I don't actually wear them very much.  The frame is very bulky and the rubber nosepiece is huge.  Its definitely made for serious impact.  For what I use them for and the amount of time they're on my face, that's not a big deal, but after putting them on again, I don't think I'd want to wear them cycling.  The strap is pretty useful for making sure they stay in place though.

As for the optics, I don't wear them in the sun much.  Mine are just clear lenses.

Unfortunately, according to their website Eyebuydirect.com doesn't sell glasses to people with my prescription.  They seem to do minor corrective stuff only.
