I have a tricky RX that has not always worked well in more wrapped frames. The Sport RX Koda was the perfect solution. Works great and looks great as well. It does a great job hiding the lens thickness and is super comfortable. I use them for mountain biking and they fit great. — Mark W.

Rudy Project Spinair 58

Rudy Project’s Spinair collection never disappoints, and the Spinair 58 is a solid running sunglass frame for several reasons.

I am very pleased with the glasses. The prescription was spot on including the bifocal for reading my bike computer and I like the rose tint on the glass. The clarity of the lenses was exceptional. I need a wider bridge for my nose and these also fit that requirement. Highly recommend them. — Dale H.

My original choices for cycling/running sunglasses would not be possible for my prescription. SportRx promptly contacted me with a great list of alternatives, one being the Nike Brazen Boost.

Customized a pair of Oakley sunglasses with prescription lenses, even though my astigmatism is very severe. Oakley didn’t even have the ability to accommodate my prescription, but SportRx was able to do so with their own lenses. The glasses fit perfectly and I am very pleased with the result. Highly recommended! — Joey T.

Nike Adrenaline 2

Last but certainly not least, the Nike Adrenaline 2 is another frame that merges high performance features with high class style. It’s ideal for a wide variety of sports, but we recommend it for its lightweight feel, generous wrap coverage, and how prescription-friendly it is for an 8-base frame.

Running Sunglasses FAQs

Should running sunglasses be polarized or not?

In short, this will depend mostly on your typical running environment and conditions! Polarization in sunglasses minimizes glaring light, whether from direct sunlight, a wet road in the bright sun, snow, windows, water, or any type of reflective surface. It’s important to note that glare isn’t only a problem on sunny days; polarization improves clarity on overcast days as well as clear ones.

One thing to note is that polarized lenses might have a minimal effect on depth perception in lower lighting. However, this is likely a larger concern for traveling at increased speeds, such as with cycling.

For more on what polarization is about, check out the section on polarized lenses in our blog, Running Sunglasses Buyer’s Guide.

Where can I find prescription running glasses?

Nighttime runners and those who prefer to run in lower lighting conditions can benefit from prescription running glasses, and you can find a variety of options for frames and lens tech at SportRx.com. All SportRx lenses include UVA/UVB protection, which is critical for preventing eye damage such as cataracts.

Most sunglass frames at SportRx may be customized with clear prescription lenses. This means you can enjoy all of the performance features of a sport sunglass but with crystal clear lenses. Call us at (888) 831–5817 to speak with a Sports Optician about prescription running glasses that fit your needs and we’ll be happy to help.

How much do Oakley prescription sunglasses cost?

Oakley prescription sunglasses will vary in price based on the lens tech, frame type, and prescription measurements. For this reason, there is no set price for how much Oakley prescription sunglasses cost. The price can start at around $150 and increase from there.
