Eyes tearing due to wind... solutions?

Greetings everyone.

I seem to have quite a bit of trouble with my eyes tearing up when riding. The faster I ride (or the stronger the headwind component) the worse it gets; above ~20 MPH it obscures my vision enough to be a concern. Sooner or later I'll hit a pothole I didn't see and take a header.

So I'm motivated to do something about it.

I ride wearing prescription sunglasses in normal street-type frames. I'm wondering if anybody out there has invested in the fancy sports- or cycling-specific sunglasses that have a bit of "wrap around" look... maybe they would be better?

Anybody else have problems with their eyes tearing up? Any other suggestions?

Thanks in advance!
