This exactly. If you pay attention to the drops on the lenses, you won't be able to see beyond them and will get frustrated. I ignore the drops and keep my attention on the road and have no real problem. It's not an optical problem, but a mental one. Keep your focus (both optical and mental) beyond the lens--in other words, concentrate on what you can see instead of what you can't--and you'll do all right.

Same here. The tighter or closer the fit, and the bigger the lens, the easier they fog. You need moving air behind the lens to keep it clear.
