Heritage Windshield Question
This is such a tough subject. Rider, windscreen and seat height have a lot to do with effect of wind and buffeting.
I use the stock heritage screen and have no problems with glasses dancing, but I do run lowers. I didn't put them on for this but for some helmet buffeting. I have used a screen that was 4 inches lower and still did not have an issue with glasses but I do have good wrap-around sunglasses so that might be part of the deal.
I would get a strap for the glasses and put a little tension on them and see if that does the trick. As you say, you're still getting used to them.

Yeah, their is a large sweet spot in terms of shield height. Have been thinking about cutting mine down so as a test I would sit up several inches while riding to see what it would take to get a buffeting affect. Several inches would be good for sure. But, the shorter the less protection road debris.
I've got a 07 Heritage with the 20" stock, but have a Cee Baily 20" which is about 30% thicker than the stock Harley shield, but is better quality (IMHO).
I ride with a Corbin Dual Tour seat and I'm about 1/2" below the top and I don't notice that much wind, however I wear a Schuberth touring helmet with glasses. One thing I noticed that with the HD shield, I had more wind, but since switching to the Cee Baily shield, there was less wind. Just my two cents.

I also think your issue is coming from under the windshield, try putting your arm sideways across your chest when riding to see if it stops. I keep mine very low with no issues at all. I also hate looking through the windshield.
Just swapped my 21" shield out for a Memphis shades 17" replacement. I tried looking through the shield for 2500 miles after trading for this bike and couldn't handle it. The 17" comes between my nose and chin somewhere and it works well. I do notice more air but no "buffeting" I know some people like to look through but it just didn't work for me.
