Default nightime eye protect for eyeglass wearers

Any reasonable priced options for eye protection to fit over my eyeglasses for nighttime riding? There are many options for sunglasses that fit over glasses, but I'm having a difficult time finding a clear pair for the evening. I'm not wanting to go with goggles.

Thanks,

Why not a pair of safety glasses from Home Depot/Lowes/etc? They're clear, shatter-proof, and look fairly decent too

I use these from the dealership, cost about 20 bucks; comes in tinted, amber and clear. The strap just snaps on, so you can use as goggles or not...

Wiley X makes nice ones. Go on Rx Saftey website. Mine cost around $180 with the prescription and transition lens.

Just had my eye exam and time for new glasses. I always get the transitions (light to dark) with flexiframes and polycarbonite lenses. Never think about what glasses I have to wear any longer...
