Lasik, by far the best money I ever spent. It's not cheap, but it's worth every cent.

Have don the LAsik route but still find my best vision with glasses. I have prescription RayBans and a pair of Bobster wear-over goggles for night. I'm pretty much in the RayBans unless it's pitch dark.

I wear these over my prescription glasses. I had to put a couple of pieces of weatherstripping in the bridge area, but found them to be very comfortable after that. There just aren't any over the glasses goggles out there that I have found that are as much fun as these. The Ugly Goggles.

I got the transitions driving glasses, they will tint behind windshields (cage) and behind a faceshield as well. I really like them, but they are not cheap. They don't get light enough for night driving it says, but I usually have a pair of clear glasses with me if I am out at night.

Hey, how old were you when you had it done and how bad of eye sight did you have?

Transition eyeglasses, over glass goggles when raining, Sometimes a face shield if really cold or windy.

lasik scares me too, somebody cutting on the only eyes I have. Guess I'll try the prescription eyeglasses witht eh foam cups.

I've had Panptx (7eye) and wiley-X and have had no problem with either. I would love to have lasik but the doc said nope because I'm diabetic.
