They don't need venting because they don't close in around your eyes. They can still fog and the Rain-X will work. You can just about perceive some blurring after a time in the cold and wet but nothing like the total whiteout condition that you get without any kind of anti-fog on your lenses.

If you're using cheap glasses, Rain-X is ok, but it does irritate some people's eyes, and it causes the plastic to get brittle. I use Blaze Anti-Fog on anything with plastic lenses. It's specifically formulated for plastic (Rain-X is formulated for glass). Blaze doesn't last long, and has to be re-applied every couple days, but it doesn't irritate my eyes at all, and it should make the plastic brittle or haze. I use it on all my glasses for motorcycling and bicycling, and my MC helmet visors.
