I wear real glasses, the kind for the seeing.
They go inside, couldn't have it any other way.

I always wear my shades outside the straps - just a comfort issue.

I wear mine inside, for no other reason than it feels comfortable that way.

Sunglasses go outside.
Real glasses go inside.
That's just the way they fit when I put them on.

Outside.
Not OCP reasons. In case of a crash I want my sunglasses to not get caught in the helmet straps and cause additional injury. I am more attached to my eyes and face than I am to my $150 Oakleys.
Of course one can avoid all of this inside / outside confusion by not wearing a helmet.

Inside. I have wore glasses my entire life. Always inside. Finally got Rx sunglasses this year. They will follow suit.
Safety....have my glasses ever f'd me up in wreck? A cut or two...yes, but those were my normal metal framed glasses.
Tried them outside once just to see what all the hubbub was about. No thank you.

Outside. $20 dollar Performance glasses (with 3 lenses per set!) don't sting as much when they hit the ground.
