I can see the road signs and such better now.

Still looking for other options, so thanks to others who have/will post.
I ordered glasses on line. They sent me 5 pairs to try on. (billed my cc for cost) When I picked one pair out,(WileyX) I sent them back. They applied the $ to my bill. THEY ARE NOT CHEAP! I had bifocals, trans lenses, ect. Cost was around $450.00. BUT they fit great and the pair I picked had very little wind intrusion. Good Luck.

The wife has a pair of yellow tinted riding glasses that she picked at the commissary on base. She's happy with them. Says they are identical to the ones she wore in Iraq (she's a retired army combat medic).
