Michelem, I don't understand why you hate wearing contacts when riding. I could *never* wear glasses while riding; I wear my progressives only right before I go to bed at night and can barely stand being outside with glasses on.
I wear my contacts and Smith sunglasses and everything seems "regular" when I ride. In fact, I stopped buying non-riding sunglasses and wear the Smiths all of the time.
The only person I know who complained about contacts while riding was wearing gas permeable lenses because someone "told" him he couldn't wear soft lenses. When we were on a cycling tour, there also was an optometrist on the tour who talked to him about it, and examined him and told him he certainly could get soft lenses. He is now happily riding with contacts.
