    I get teary eyed also in certain temperatures - mostly the cooler 50 - 60 degree days, despite wearing sun glasses.

    There is a type of gopggles/glasses I used on a 1250 mile horse ride I did across mostly desert (NV, UT, WY and NE) called CLICs. Find them here: www.sportclic.com scroll down to the goggles. I ruined mine on the trip - got scratched, but I might try another pair for biking. I think you can get them on ebay for less.

    Last year we had extra money in the flexible spending (I can never figure out how much to put in) and spent the entire bank on Oakleys with Rx lenses. I love them for riding... I worry like crazy every time I misplace them. They're also quite dark, and only have my distance vision corrected, so I can't see anything smallish without switching back to my bifocals.

    Might want to give the over glasses ones a try too. Gotta check the balance in that flex spending acct. first though!

    I have some eye watering in the cooler weather, but not so much during the summer. If I do I don't notice it, cause I'm to busy trying to keep the sweat out of them.

    Tifosi is the best value in glasses. A wrap lens will solve your problem.

    I have an old pair of Oakleys (90's version) that I tried on a ride (they have been semi-retired and used for lawn mowing) and I still have watery eyes. Mini goggles seem to help me the best.

    Ok so this weekend i'll go out and look for a wrap lens. I can't pull off goggles. Ahahaha. I already look like an alien with my helmet. Plus the BF would be too embarrassed to ride with me.
