i wear prescription ray bans-2 pair, regular clear lens and "driver" sunglass lens. I had the same issue while riding at night with a .5 helmet. I decuided to invest in a Shoei 3/4 helmet, the J-Cruise. It has a big clear shield that is longer than most. it really helps! however, when in town in the heat, I keep the shield up and have to deal with the wind. I am thinking of buying over-the-glasses goggles that baca1969

Windshield helps with the regular glasses/watery eyes thing.
MAN! Ain't that the truth!! I accidentally bought a Street Glide a while back and got spoiled. Not sure if I'm getting old, or just spend WAY too much time on my bikes not to have all the toys, but what ever it was, I love windshields now!

I keep buying baggers now.
+1 on the windshield. I have an SG & wear scripts and always wore a 3/4 helmet because of the eyeglass thing. This spring, just for the hell of it, I rode without a helmet and was pleasantly surprised at the lack of wind I got behind my glasses. Now a wear Akkoury half shell and love it.
So yeah, get an ugly old windshield on that thing and you'll be good to go with your half helmet and regular glasses!

I wanted to see what you guys that wear glasses are doing when riding at night or cloudy days where you don't wear sunglasses. I have a full helmet and half helmet and greatly prefer the half helmet. Only problem is when I get up to a decent speed wind is rushing in around my glasses and its hard to see. My sunglasses do ok because they wrap further around my eyes but my regular glasses are killing me.
