Only way I can ride since I am nearly blind. Glasses make me have tunnel vision because of the coke bottle lenses. Its actually quite petrifying to ride in glasses.
It isn't the price of the glasses, it is how the glasses fit and the coverage they provide. I have several friends who also ride in contacts. Our glasses must come up high enough on the eyebrow to keep a lot of wind from coming over the tops of the frames. Then, they must wrap side to side enough to protect from side winds. I also like having a visor for the little bit more wind protection it provides on my eyes.
I also carry a bottle of rewetting drops for those rare times when I do get something in my eye. I think I've stopped to use it maybe 2x in 20 years and I wear extended wear lenses, Ciba Vision Night & Day. I go on multiple day mtbike/camping trips in the dusty southwest with no problems.
