Wind in my eyes

[bikerchix]

Thanks for the info - guess I will need to start saving. Just bought the bike, shoes, helmet, shorts, etc.... Hubby may not be too happy if I tell him I now need a new pair of prescription glasses

Yet another ditto for the glasses with prescription....my husband has a set of Oakleys made this way.

A little more info....
He tried the prescription insert style glasses and HATED them. They'd jounce around and cause double vision. Unrideable, says he.

I would look into prescription sunglasses. I know you say they throw off your perspective, but I would talk to your eyedoctor about the dangers of being outside without UVA/UVB protection. I would also note that if you plan on doing long miles, glare becomes a big issue. Polarized lenses can help reduce glare and the fatigue/headaches that result from it.

How about some protective safety glasses/goggles made for people to put over their prescription glasses? Like if you are going to mow the lawn or use a power saw or something? I hear they have nice new styles these day.

Or if you don't mind tinted sunglasses, there are some I just got that I like and wear over my prescription glasses when biking. Totally keeps the wind and bugs out- plus it protects my expensive eyeglass lenses.
