I wear contacts when I ride, and strongly suggest you keep glasses on over them in rain (also, just in general). With contacts on, a bit of dirt or water hitting your eye the wrong way can be painful and knock your vision out pretty well for a while. If you don't ride with a cap under your helmet, try a cheap one with the brim down next time you ride in the rain... it blocks a fair amount of the stuff coming down on your glasses.
