I've been wearing hard contact lenses since 1958. While I have used them for most every activity in my younger years, since I started cycling I have found that when it is windy I'm better off in my glasses. I just can't stand it when I get get dirt particles in my eyes.

My doctor recently prescribed glasses that change color with the light, so I can use them anytime of the day or night. I too am extremely nearsighted, so contacts are preferable, but since I got my new glasses, it's been easier to ride on windy days!
