Recently went through deciding on Rx options myself. Went round and round
on sport glasses + insert vs. a straight Rx sunglass. Finally decided the
insert route was too complicated (4 surfaces to keep clean + greater
possibility of eyelash interference + some are not compatible w/ progressive
lenes + lower visual quality since your looking through 2 pieces of
plastic). Too much of my riding also ends up being at dusk into darkness,
so the prospect of carrying an extra set of clear outer lenses didn't excite
me (it frightening to see the number of cyclist out in the dark still
wearing their sunglasses).
Ended up finding a relatively inexpensive set of sunglass frames with good
coverage, and had Transition-polycarbonate-progressive lenses put in. Even
though the frames needed 8-base curves lenses, the end result was still very
good. Many opticians wouldn't touch this job with a 10 ft pole because they
believe a fairly highly curved lens in combination with a progressive
doesn't mix, but I found the end result works just fine. I think the only
thing I gave up going this route vs. marketed sport glasses were some style
points (although some sport glasses look pretty dorky after you put in the
Rx insert).
