It was late enough that everybody had their headlights on, so their headlights made a zillion little reflections in all the water in my glasses, essentially blinding me. There were times when I could only see a parked car when it was 10 feet in front of me. Not the best conditions!

Anyways - is there anything I can do about this? I need to wear glasses (I'm legally blind without them, see 20/15 with them) - but they also are causing a pretty serious problem for me...
Howdy neighbor,

I commute 14 miles from Kenmore Square to Norwood. I avoid rain and rumors of rain at all times, most of all to avoid messing up my pristine road bike, though I might ride in drizzle on my mountain bike, as I did this morning. Furthermore, it's pretty unpleasant and can be dangerous due to poor vision that also affects my eyeglasses. Fortunately, I can leave my bike at work and take a commuter rail home, and vice versa.
