    Rain-X works wonders on motorcycle faceshields, which are made from the same polycarbonate as most sunglasses. Just turn your head and the water runs right off. It does tend to create halos (very minor but annoying to some people), so you don't want to use it unless you know you're going to be going through rain.

    I decided to forget the change stuff and bought the type that change with sunlight. No changes to lose and I got mens so they are big and cover most my face. Expensive and not recomended for people who lose, fall or scratch stuff easily.
    My problem is that they dry out while I ride!! Ive gotten quite good at flying down paths while squeezing saline into my eyes, scarily enough!

    I've worn contacts ever since I was a teenager, and I suspect I've got ironclad corneas from it. I only wear sunglasses or goggles if the sun is very bright or in stinging rain or snow, I much prefer to ride without. Without my contacts my eyes are a lot more sensitive.

    I found some clear sport glasses, like you might use in raquetball. I haven't ried them yet, but they were a lot cheaper than some other options. I'm pretty hard on glasses, so I didn't want to spend much. These are nice, with an elastic strap, and they feel pretty compfortable. We'll see how they work!

    Usually, actually always, wear protective lenses but I've have found that safety glasses work well as an alternative.
