Contact lenses

[Biking Chick]

<snip> I HATE wearing glasses with clear lenses - reminds me too much of wearing normal glasses. Even in the pouring rain I prefer to go with no glasses as I also hate it when the lenses get all covered in rain and smears. <snip>

I also wear extended wear contacts - torque lenses as well as bifocal 'script on my lenses. I carry a bottle of rewetting solution that I will use at rest stops - even if I don't think I need to use the drops I've found that it certainly does raise my comfort level.

I always wear sunglasses and am particularily fond of the amber lenses in most light conditions. For those early morning rides when it is dark, clear lenses are a must. In rain conditions I've found that using Rain-X helps to keep the rain from spotting on the lenses.

You can find Rain-X in just about any automotive department at your favorite Target or local automotive store. (Used on windshields to keep water moving off the windshield).
