Prescription sun glasses - Please help!

[YorkshireBeanie]

Hi guys. New here.

So I'm based here in the UK. I have just had a new prescription done. and attempted to order some prescription Holbrooks however it states the lenses are not available with my prescription. but with no information on why?

My prescription is as follows

R = Sph -4.0, CYL +3.75, AXIS 170.0
L = Sph -3.5, CYL +4.25, AXIS 15.0
I have Keratoconus, have attempted contact lenses in the past but I dont get on with them.

With Pupilaraly distance of 32.5 for each eye so im presuming this is 65 total.

Is this something that OAKLEY would still be able to do? whether it be a different frame or not? I was looking at Prizm polarised with coloured lenses.
Cheers

Oakley doesn't do holbrook sunglasses rx beyond 3.00 cylinder.
You could contact a company like sportrx and I think they'd be willing to make you a sunglasses lenses in the "optical Holbrook" model. They won't be genuine Oakley brand. So you'll be looking at more basic polarized tints like dark brown, dark gray, or dark green.

Hi @Chris A Hardaway Thanks for replying.

Are there any other models that will suit my prescription? As i only wanted to go for oakleys for the coloured lenses you do.

Cheers

Rx frame models will work w your rx. Just not w genuine Oakley rx sun lenses.

Don't pick a sunglasses model unless you want to have potential warped and blurry vision.

The flatter the frame up to 5 or 6 base curve. Call sport rx they could help on this one

Oakley Optical Prescription eyeglasses, like Holbrook RX, will work with your RX. Optical frames are available with Oakley Regular Iridium lenses. So you will miss out on Prizm but can still have authentic Oakley sunglass lenses.

I don't think Oakley RX frames can have "sun lenses above 3.00 cylinder" but maybe I'm wrong on that. I knew they could go way up in power on clear or "transitions photochromic" lenses.

You can certainly get Oakley Optical frames with cyl up to +-6 dpt. However with higher cyl colour options can be limited.
