You could try RainX on your glasses, which is another thing that motorcyclists use on their faceshields to reduce fogging and allow rain to bead off. But, it leaves a sheen that a lot of people don't like, and on glasses it might be too close to your eyes and nose, since who knows what's in that stuff.
It's been so long ago that I forgot that besides peripheral vision, rain vision was another reason I decided to get contact lenses when I was racing bikes. Cheap sunglasses are easy to shake and/or wipe off, or just go without when the rain's so heavy that you can't see and you're going so slow anyway that you're in less danger from things flying into your eyes, than you are from riding into a hole or running over something you can't see.
