I had to wear them with my old bike even with the windsheild on. I bought a bagger with the batwing fairing and no more problems.

Could be allergies as well. Claritin helps me there. Allergies aside, the cooler the air, the easier my eyes tear with increasing speed. A full face helmet with face shield solves the problem, 'cept for the allergies.

Goggles will help or maybe wraparound glasses with clear lens.

Wiley-X wraparound glasses with the foam inserts help immensely. I wore goggles for a few months over my eyeglasses and did not like the loss of peripheral vision.

Yeah, go with the glasses with the foam inserts. They are everywhere. Even walmart.

If you need a prescription, Sportrx have several models that have a removable foam eyecup. I have the Warrior model, & it seals out the wind really well.

I've got Panoptx sunglasses with the foam type stuff to seal your eyes. I took a hair dryer and heated up the frames and ear pieces until they fit really tight sealing out any wind. They work great now.

Goggles or padded shades will help a lot. I prefer the shades myself easier to put on and take off. Conversely, they tend to fog up easier as well.

Good idea! I'm going to try that with mine. Thanks for tip.
