You need full-wrap sunglasses to deflect the wind around your eyes, rather than regular glasses which create eddy points at the edges of the lenses -- often wearing the wrong glasses can make your eyes colder than if you wear nothing at all!

Personally, I hate goggles and only wear them in heavy snowfall or when it is colder than -25C. Full wrap glasses are more versatile, and if you have to stop, say at a red light, you can just puch them down your nose so they don't fog up (harder to do that with goggles).

And for winter riding, nothing beats a set of photochromic lenses that adjust their tint automatically to the light conditions.
