-Hi Nat, +

-Had a similar problem as you - wanted script glasses with Noir darkness. In addition to that, had a sore nose which most glasses frames hurt.+
  
 Visited a large motorcycle dealership. Here in the U.S. it was Harley Davidson, but probably any large shop would sell motorcyclist's sunglasses (eBay also sells these frames used at affordable prices). Harley Davidson makes attractive wrap-around sunglasses with a snap-out cushioned liner. There were several styles & I chose one whose shape hugged my face best & (due to the cushioned liner) also sealed out the light perfectly. Visited a large motorcycle dealership.

 The only thing I may do differently will be to get my clear lenses ground a bit smaller so they'll fit even tighter in between the tinted sunglass lenses & the snap-out liner. Could create a paper "pattern" (like with dress-making) for my optometrist by fitting a postcard-thick piece of paper inside the back of the sunglasses frames. Adding 3 or 4 tiny dots of a sticky clear adhesive to the outer corners of the finished re-sized lenses would prevent them from jiggling when they're sandwiched inside the sunglasses. This idea may not be what you need, but is another option. The only thing I may do differently will be to get my clear lenses ground a bit smaller so they'll fit even tighter in between the tinted sunglass lenses & the snap-out liner.

-More of her post: +
-Eye sensitivity to bright light is still an issue that I am dealing with too despite being in stage 5. When I need extra eye protection and I cannot avoid daylight I use double pairs of NOIRS. I have prescription 2% amber NOIRS (similar in shape to the NOIR model 35, but mine is actually the “wind RX” from Optics Direct http://opticsdirect.com/marshallprotocol.aspx w/ custom cut NOIR lenses) and a pair of the 2% amber NOIR spectrashelds fit-overs to wear overtop. I wear a baseball cap too for extra sun blocking.  +
- +
-NOIR Medical does now carry a frame that will hold an RX insert http://www.noir-medical.com/styles/adult_34.html +
- +
-Since I already have the “Wind” frame, I order 78mm NOIR blanks from Noir Medical and have my optician cut these to fit these frames. If you’d like more information about the “Wind” frames which hold a prescription lens a good contact person at Optics Direct is Barry R. barry@opticsdirect.com  +
- +
-The only draw back to the wind Rx frame is that it doesn’t come with NOIR lenses, these need to be ordered separately and custom made.  +
