Thanks for the sportrx link! I wear glasses and was looking for somthing that might keep the pollen out with foam but still use my Rx. If anyone knows of any other prescription glasses made for bikes please let me know.

I also have Wiley X glasses and they work great for me. I have the BRICK WX Z87-2. Like others have said. You have to try each pair on and make sure that they fit your particular face structure. Once you find ones that fit the contour of your noggin, you should be fine. I wouldn't recommend ordering them online or without fitting them. You'll just be throwing away money.

I have a pair of Panoptx (7eye) Churada's with the day/night lens and they really work well. The lens does not get really dark, but it really cuts the glare, no problem wearing at night, keeps the wind out with the foam insert that you can remove. They will not fog as long as you follow the directions for cleaning the inside of the lens! The different models fit different size faces, so don't just go buy a specific model, choose one that fits your face and leaves minimal gap.

Also comes with a nice hard case, cleaning cloth and an adjustable strap that slides over the ends. I have had mine for 3+years and they are still in great condition.

I just purchased this set of 3 skydiving googles earlier this week. They should be in sometime next week.

I have a set of Wiley-X ... looked at the paperwork, but don't see any model or name on them. Work great. My old goggles fogged up bad (real damp here in Oregon). Never have a problem with these.

I also have Wiley-X brand glasses. They are the brick model with a removable gasket which is nice cause you can remove the gasket and use the glasses as regular sun glasses when your not riding. I think I paid $85 for the mirror lenses, came with a case headband and cleaning cloth. For me they are the best pair af glasses I've had.

Guard-dog Evader I here. Great goggles for the price, interchangeable lens are priceless. The Rx Wiley-X SG-1s I ordered with an unfixable prescription are actually made for large heads. If you have a smaller head, they will be loose.

DIY w/ safety glasses
Thanks to all for the brand suggestions.
I went out looking for riding glasses recently at some local shops and wasn't satisfied with the fit of any I tried among the minimal selection.
My skull is smaller than most and I found the frames kept getting pushed down by the my helmet. To wear the glasses right, the helmet needed to be tilted back. Not a good compromise.
With my bike parked in the garage after I got home, two things melded in my mind as I saw them: a pair of sleek tinted safety glasses, and a roll of 1/4" wide closed-cell foam self-adhesive weather-stripping, neither too far apart on the workbench.
They work better than I expected at highway speed and don't fog-up. They're inexpensive and it takes about a 30 seconds to do this to any pair of glasses you choose. By "any pair", I mean to imply that the lenses must be large enough to ensure that the foam does not rest below your eyebrows when worn.
They'll will work until I find what I'm looking for.
Cheers.
