eyebuydirect.com has some wrap around sunglasses - go to their main page and click on "sport sunglasses" under the "Sunglasses" menu along the top. These are all sunglasses with an "Rx insert" - that is, regular lenses that fit behind the wrap-around tinted main lenses. You can get glasses that have the prescription in the main, wrap- around lens, but I gather it's tricky to get it right with anything other than very mild prescriptions - your prescription is similar to mine, and I don't think that's an option for either of us unless we buy our lenses from a local professional sports optician. Some people don't like the inserts and others don't mind them - you can search the internet and see what people say about them.
I came to this group looking for opinions on the quality of these sunglasses - I'm thinking of buying a pair for cycling - the wrap arounds are nice to keep the wind out of your eyes. Brand name Oakley or Rudy Project frames + prescription lenses cost more than a car payment, so they're completely out. I can't find any opinions about the eyebuydirect frames either way, so I may just try it and see.
