Default Night riding goggles over glasses ?

I wear my prescription glasses while riding so I have shaded "goggles" that fit over the glasses and they work fine.What I need are these types of goggles that come with clear lenses for night riding.All the ones I have seen have sunglass lenses.

If you have optical insurance that will cover prescription sunglasses then go to the panoptx web sit pick an optometrist that is near you, just make sure they have sample's to try on that way you get what fits best. http://www.panoptx.com/dealerlist/find_a_dealer.htm
and have a pair made in your prescription with the day/night Len's I have a pair of their cv sr100 series in the sirocco style frame with my bifocal prescription and the day/night tint that I use regardless of time of day. and the best news the insurance picked up the total cost[sm=yeahsmile.gif]

I wear FitOver polarized sunglasses over my prescriptions for daytime and then switch to a yellow/amber FitOver for nighttime.

You find the yellow Fitovers are clear enough for night riding?The Panoptx sound interesting,I sent an email to the Cdn. distributor...it may be a little hareder to find a local dealer.

It took awhile to get used to the yellow lens. For the last 30 odd years I just used a clear shield for nighttime riding but I don't like wearing a fishbowl. I love the yellow FitOvers for night riding now and yes, I find them clear enough.

the only reason I suggested finding a local optometrist is for the trying on and the insurance purpose these are available from the over thenet also at probably less than what I would have had to pay if the insurance hadn't picked them up.
