My wife wears contacts and she had the same problem, so she bought the shades with the foam padding in the inside and looks good. Also my night glasses have that foam in the inside rim also and works great. Got mine from HD, but you can gettem lotsa places.

I've owned Wiley-X's and 7-eyes.... 7-eye's are hands down better shades/glasses than Wiley-X's... Both are pricey. $$$...

These work great and are inexpensive - I've used them for several years now.

There is one better solution. If you can get Lasik. It is a miracle of medicene. Prior to that, I was always having problem with wind, dust etc. Now it is no problem what so ever with just a pair of sunglasses.

+1 I bought a pair of these at the Red River Run several years ago, and still got 'em. The price is right and they work. I bought a pair of goggles at the dealership for 20 bucks that work great also.

I wear Wiley-X's. They are the best that I've had so far. Haven't tried 7eye's yet.
