UK Eyewear offers a comprehensive range of optically corrected eyewear. We have carefully selected the range to meet the needs of the road cyclist mountain biker or extreme off road cyclist. We offer two types of prescription glazing. Direct glazed (when the prescription lens is fitted directly into frame) indicated by the red flag in the corner of the images below and Insert Glazed (when the prescription lenses are mounted into an optical insert that is mounted to the back of the frame) indicated by the blue flag in the corner of the images below.

Insert glazed Advantages: are that the cost less, You can select a frame with an interchangeable lens feature the different coloured lenses will cater for different light condition at a low price point.
