Default Dry eyes while riding

My eyes/contacts get super dry while riding. Anybody got some glasses or goggles that keep the wind out but don't seal so much that they fog up? Oh yeah, clear is a must, would be riding in the dark to work.

Try some safety glasses. I have a pair that look just like the expensive riding glasses but they are clear.

Full face helmets work really well at blocking wind and they save your dome of you crash.

Full face is the way to go especially when it rains.

I have a pair of clear safety glasses that work quite well. They actually seem to make things appear a little sharper than with my own eyes, and keep all that wind and junk out of my eyes.

Maybe those great big "Blue Blocker" sunglasses?

I've tried several types of safety glasses, but haven't found any that really fit closely but not fully.

Sunglasses should be enough. I mean just how fast are you going?
But I bet the contacts do a lot.
Maybe ride with prescription glasses?

I agree with the suggestion for safety glasses. You gotta find what fits YOU.
A lot of sunglasses were too dark for me, and some of the snazzy wrap-around ones fit so close that my eyelashes rubbed when I blinked (very annoying).
Wouldn't you know, some $3 Harbor Freight safety glasses are what I'm using now. I swear it's not just because I'm cheap! I have a drawer with a half dozen pair of glasses I bought before I found those.
