Out of Sight..


How many times, do you find yourself riding along and either look up and can not read the street sign or the route cue sheet that RMCC provides during the "Weekend Training Rides". You're not alone. I cannot remember the number of times someone has asked  "What does this say?" Most people do not realize that there are options out there for those sunglasses we wear. And that is prescription lenses can be added to most brands. This includes glasses for other sport activities as well.

One firm that has advertised and offered pricing discounts to RMCC members is "Sports Optical".

Brett Hunter founded this company in 1993. "We do this differently then any other LensCrafter". For the optics, we use unique, proprietary formulas to adjust for the strength of you prescription, the curvature of the lenses and dimensions of the frame used. All lenses are made by hand. Nothing like that added personal touch.

I personally have had glasses from Sports Optical. I can remember bringing them in to Brett after I accidentally sat on them. Brett actually saved them. I really thought that my glasses were not repairable; boy was I surprised!

So if you are tired of squinting, trying to read something with out your corrected glasses, it may pay to look it to adding prescription lenses to your sports glasses. You never know what you could be missing!

Happy Trails,
