My eyes are spoiled, literally and figureatively. My uncorrected vision is 20/350+ so riding without glasses is not an option. Corrected I'm about 20/70. It takes serious lenses to get that kind of correction and my last two prescriptions have had a compound curve so the outside surface bows inward nearly as much as the inside surface. I don't know if the curve has something to do with it but wiping it dry with a finger doesn't really get the job done. My eyes are also usually behind full wrap Solar Shields that go over the glasses. They do such a good job of keeping wind and stuff out of my eyes that they now have no tolerance for bike riding in just prescription lenses. As long as its raining in the daytime there is no problem. The Solar Shields can get as wet as they want, I can wipe them down every now and then or just let them bead up and squint. I use Rain-X anti-fog on the inside of the Solar Shields. They only cost $20.00/
pr. and I keep a couple of pairs on the go at all times because I manage to lose a pair every six months or so. At night I have been looking for a solution. Solar Shields does not make a clear. It would be great if they did. I've tried cheapo safety glasses and goggles from Home Depot but they get dull very quickly. Something like motorcycle goggles is beginning to look real appealing. Losing those won't be fun. People have said that they wear yellow lenses at night. I don't know how that would work, anyone? I think Solar Shields has yellow lenses.
