Is your windshield off an old Schwinn krate, or homemade?

I've got the same problem. Seems like there ought to be some sort of goggles that would fit over glasses. Maybe ski goggles?

I wore contacts for years, but worried about their long-term effects. Glasses are so much more convenient and practical.
Headsweats Coolmax Cycle Cap is made to be worn under a helmet (or by itself of course).

Fenders are also a big help.

Something else that seems to help with fogging:

Wash your eyeglasses in dishwashing detergent in warm water. Do not rinse them off, just dry them with a soft cloth. I clean mine in the dishpan just before I wash the dishes.
