Default Windshield Suggestions

I'm looking for something that will fit my SuperGlide and just keep the wind out of my face. I wear glasses and I cannot go over about 45 mph without having the wind cause my right eye to "tear" and I'm basically riding around with one eye closed. Not good.
I also wear an open face helmet with a visor and anything above 45mph, and the wind wants to rip my helmet off. So, I'm looking for even a small shield that will deflect the wind over my head.......suggestions?

Clearview or Wind Vest. I have both and really like the Wind Vest. Has a more pronounced recurve to displace more wind. Clearview is cheaper but the Wind Vest works better. I have a 10" on my ultra and the wind is about two inches over my helmet, I'm 6'. And yes, they make them for all model Harley's.
