The only thing I do get is that teary effect. I can't recall ever having any streaming down my cheeks, but sometimes I do look like I have just finished sobbing like over some high school break up at the prom or like I'm just about to burst into it. It goes away, though, so I don't mind it too much. No one has ever commented to be about it either. Maybe that's because I don't see too many people when I first get done riding or that the sun still isn't up, but maybe it's because my welled up eyes make me look like a basket case and I could explode at the slightest provocation.

HeeHee! Definately the "Basket Case" look surely? ,(or should that be Surly on a bike forum?

). Talk to your optician next time you go. I found the worst eye for the falling out feeling was the one with astigmatism, (sp?) Since changing lenses that feeling has gone, mind you its not been really cold here yet we are just heading into autumn
