Goggles: Perscriptioned - Snowboarding Forum

Does anyone know where I can purchase perscription goggles either locally (Vancouver, Canada) or via online (Canadian/US dealer)?

I am not looking for any OTG goggles mainly because i wear those thick rectangular black frame glasses and OTG goggles tend to either change the shape of my glasses (happened with my previous pair) or it doesn't fit. I also do not want those sunglasses looking ones with the strap attachment thing either.

Also I do not mind taking off my goggles and not being able to see because I'll probably bring my glasses in a case and leave it in my pocket or something. Sucks being a boarder without perfect vision eh >_>;

depends how bad your eyes are, my eyes are really bad, if i decided to make a prescription goggle the lens would be freaking huge and heavy, why dont you wear contacts, thats what i do and if you have the right goggles your eyes wont dry out either.

I've got some photochromatic Zeal goggles. Regular goggles with an insert that fits inside that holds the prescription lens. Just send your prescipt in and they take care of it. Can't remember how much? Add a yellow lens for flat days and you should be good. If you decide contacts are the way to go, you still have googles you can use.
