I have noticed as the years go by that my eye strain is getting bad. Keep fresh lenses but still issue. Anyone try the Oakley Prism goggles? Also tried prescription lense inserts but lost depth perception.

I have been using the orange lens from Scott for many years. Drag racers started wearing the orange lens about 10-15 years ago to see their start lights better. This color lens was developed for snow skiing in flat light. I use my orange lens from the darkest to brightest days at the track.

Quit looking at so much porn on the Internet! Smile

I have a much harder time with the shadows especially at night. But I haven't found anything except the yellow lenses that help

I've noticed my vision is getting bad while I'm riding too. It's ok as long as my lense is perfectly clean and there's good light. But anything other than that, my speed drops in the woods. Moto I'm ok. It's more wide open. Maybe I'll try the amber lense. Back in the 90's I tried the amber lense but it screwed with my depth. They made me feel real close to the ground for some reason.

Call Randy at Pro-Vue (http://www.pro-vue.com/). I've used them for 10 years with awesome results. They recently made the switch to 100% goggles so they are with the style now. He'd rather take an old-school phone call than answer an email by the way. I think MXA did a few reviews as well if you wanted to look those up.

Randy is your best option for viable prescription goggles.
He's been making them for years, and is very good at it.
