Cycling Specific Glasses

[Drago]

Cycling dan/does sometimes induce watery/streaming eyes

Might I suggest some padded shorts, or perhaps a testicular hammock of some kind?

Another option if you want to carry on using your existing glasses could be these side shields that slide onto the arms of the glasses:

BUMP.

I’ve been reading the thread with interest. I really want bi focal photochromic lenses. Looking at something like this:-

I must have missed this thread first time around and suffer the streaming eyes and glasses that are harder to see through by the time I get home .

And have often thought what can I do to ease the problem IE wearing wrap around style glasses but sounds like they are not much better than normal

I has this problem for a long time - changing to having to wear varifocals made in worse , in that I now had to wear expensive frames for cycling. I tried wrap around, but they were far too thin, for both the lenses and the streaming problem. The solution in my case was to get varifocal lenses put into sunglass frames, which you can get in sizes that will cover more of the eye - like this

Old thread revival, but I still stand by my original suggestion. When doing active/hot sports like cycling you will always be affected by glasses misting up or getting sweat streaks.

Ok, contact lenses might be a compromise for reading, but distance vision so badly required when cycling is perfect and any smeared glasses can soon be whipped off if they become a problem. I was out this weekend on a hot day and got sweated up glasses. Wiping with my (sweaty) cycle shirt didn't improve matters but while waiting for them to dry a bit I simply popped them up on my head and enjoyed perfect vision with my contact lenses. I can cope with a little struggle to read the menu at the mid-ride cafe stop.
