Default Over glasses eyewear

I need a pair of non tinting glasses that fit over my existing prescription glasses for night time riding. I could wear a helmet but I'd rather not. Any ideas? Thanks.

I use a pair of Gaurd Dog Evader 2 over RX goggles, clear for night-time. They came with dark smoke and yellow lenses also. Actually work and wear pretty well.

I use a pair of Airfoil goggles. Fit well over my scrip glasses and come in either clear or smoke. Downside, peripheral vision is not so good. But they work well and are better at keeping debris out of your eyes vs. stock glasses.

I recently stopped wearing contacts and back to glasses. I found a pretty cheap ($25) pair of over prescription glasses goggles and work pretty well. Only issue was them bouncing around at highway speeds. I solved that by adding a strap that I can tighten around the back of my head.

Another positive on the Guard Dog
I have the Evader 1 which I also think you can get in clear.

Maybe give in to the cool factor and just wear a full face helmet

I got tired of wearing goggles over my prescription glasses and got a pair of Liberty Sport prescription glasses. They have various styles to choose from and I got mine with the transitions lenses so I can wear them in the day and in the night. They also have removable magnetic soft cushions that seal up around your eyes to keep wind and dirt out.

I would just get a pair of the goggles that fit over glasses.

Or you can go the route that I did. I bought prescription Bobber brand goggles from Sport RX with amber tint for night time and they weren't that expensive.
