have a question regarding wearing sports sunglasses....
I am nearsighted so I have to wear perscription glasses while riding my bike.
Usually all is fine and I just wear my normal sunglasses which cover my eyes nicely. Now I have started to notice that after a long ride, and/or if there is wind (whether just a windy day or me riding much faster ), my eyes become really gritty and teary.
It feels like I picked up every pollen and bug in the air.
If I buy sports-glasses (with prescription) will it get better because they somehow shield my eyes better? And what brands are you using that you could recommend?
Thanks
A.

I'm a huge fan of Oakley glasses...they are very pricey but well worth it! I have also had some trouble with an older pair and have sent them back to be repaired which they have done without any problems.

I have Bolle sunglasses and bought an insert from them. I took the insert to Costco who put my prescription in them. I think they are great because I now can read the computer on my bike. Be sure not to get polorized glasses because the lens on the computer is polorized and you don't want to get the rainbow effect.
