    Dry eyes and sunglasses

    I'm having a bit of trouble finding the perfect sunglasses to wear on the bike. I always have to wear glasses because my eyes dry out really bad when I ride, and well, it's a safety thing too. I wear contacts, but don't have dry eyes at any other time than when riding (DH wears contacts too, and he never has this problem- neither do my other contact wearing cycling friends ).
    I have multiple pairs of glasses. No matter what brand I've tried I still "catch air" either around the edges or near the nosepiece and get the dry eye insanity (my $60 Tifosi's are not any better than the cheaper $5-10 brands I've gotten at drugstores or sports outlets).

    I refuse to spend more than $70 on glasses (I know- I just can't justify anything more than that, tho), so please tell me if you have/wear any glasses that you LOVE that keep all the wind off your eyes? What kind are they????

    I'm this close to wearing ski goggles on my rides.
