Default Clear glasses for night riding

I have a road glide and do a lot of riding at night. Any recommendations for glasses to wear at night, so my eyes don’t dry out. Thanks.

I use a pair of Dewalt safety glasses. They fit nice around my noggin.

I also use yellow lenses at night. Cuts down on the glare.

I took the advice of the riding glasses, but appeared to be focused on daytime sunglasses. I figured the night time glasses would be different set. Thx

I use Harbor Freight safety glasses in clear for night and smoke (UV protected) for daytime. There are yellow ones too. They are all-day comfortable and look pretty good. I carry a spare pair of each in the package for when people need them. At under $2 a pair they are great.

Yellow tinted safety glasses.
An Indy near me sells good ones for just this purpose
10 -12 bucks IIRC

For night riding, I also recommend a yellow tinted lens, although clear is good. Also, recommend glasses that have the removable foam insert to keep the wind from drying out your eyes.

I have a 7eye riding glasses that have the photo chromatic lenses. Gets dark in sunlight and has clear yellow lenses when dark. They also come in prescription if you need those. They have different styles frames to choose from. Here is a pic, but some of the better brands may have the same features.
