Well, I guess I'm old now, because while my vision is generally excellent, I need a little help looking at the compter all day.

So, there's only one choice. Go online, find the Oakley prescription dealers nearby, pay whatever they want and get some real glasses.

After trying on all of the available options I settled on a pair of Drillbits. They are very light, fit me pretty much perfect and have some cool Oakley-esque details that remind me of the various xmetal lines. I'm not a fan of their more fashioney glasses so I stayed with the more "traditional" Oakley aesthetic.

It's going to take a little while to get used to wearing them all day, but they make a nice little addition to the collection.

Here's a few shots. Who else on here wears the 'O' all day?

Before you end up getting a prescription, unless of course you REALLY need it, I'd recommend getting a pair of flaks or something that have the yellow/ hi-yellow lenses in them and wearing those for a couple of hours at work. See how they work out. It may be eye fatigue and not a vision correction issue.

That being said, I've taken to wearing the X-hairs, that I had Dr. Chop cut M-frame Hi-Yellow lenses, while I'm at work staring at the computer. Originally, I was only going to use the for shooting, but I've found that they work great for computer use. Cuts down on the eye strain.

Nice decision on the Drillbits. They are a nice frame. I wear prescription Oakley half the time nowadays (but with Nikon and not Oakley lenses) and have done so for the last 4 years or so. Oakley's presciption presence is growing by leaps and bounds, I think. I see quite a number of people wearing the Oakley Rx around.

I too wore/will be wearing O prescription. Have been doing so for last eight years. Presently, though I'm loathed to admit this, am wearing some 'knock-off' Oakleys. The only false pair I have, and swore I'd NEVER buy/get caught out again.. Used them for emergencies and only that. Previous to these I have a pair of 05's then a pair of RX Spikes a pair of Nanowire 2's and 'waiting in the wings', I have a pair of OO Wires, all using to my knowledge Nikon lenses, due to my sh*t eyesight/Oakleys' max prescription.
