Wille does have some good frames for bad eyes ,check there web page. Some are better than other deppending on how bad your eyes are and see if you can get drive wear lense's. I bought these and they work great. I also use the xl-1 frames ,you can use a heavier scirp in them.

I bought Wiley X's then took them to my eye doctor and had him put my script in them. They have a strap too with a removable foam piece around the lens. I also got transition lens so I can use them even after I get off my bike and go inside. They are great

Bought WillyX directly from them off of their website. They use an excellent shatterproof plastic in their lenses. Had my eyes checked locally and sent them the script. Picked out a half dozen frames and bought them with no lenses in them and they then credited me with the frames I didn't want. Very painless and very inexpensive. Great glasses.

+1 Best thing I have done in years and I did it when it was $5,000 per eye.

As an Optician and a Rider, I have had the luxury of trying just about every type of frame out there. My eyes are sensitive to wind and I am my own worst and picky patient.

I was looking for the perfect frame that I can wear 24/7 and have my progressive lenses in them. I hate changing glasses for work and play. I am still searching because out of all my choices, I am still not really happy.

The best motorcycle glasses for wind are the Panoptix brand. The one thing that bothers me is that I cannot wear them for anything else. I feel like the foam gives me tunnel vision and they are too hot when your not moving. I just started wearing them today since the weather is colder and I cant have any wind in my eyes or the tears just stream down my face. Panoptix are the best and sturdiest.

WileyX is my #2 choice.

I wish I were a candidate for Lasik...but I'm diabetic and right now my sight isn't to bad but not repairable at this point.
