You said whether or not you went to the dr. to get eye drops for that so you might give that a shot.
Or you could get a full face helmet? Probably not what you want to hear but it definitely keeps the wind out.

Wiley X has a good selection. You want what they call the climate control series. go to their website,pick your model then google for cheaper prices. I use them after cataract surgery . If you google chronic dry eye you will find some websites that also recommend them. Expect to pay $70 to $100. Good luck.
Yep the Wiley X stuff is pricey but also the best riding glasses I've used .

I did the same thing. You didn't say whether you wore any corrective lenses?
My VA eyeball Dr. recommended Systane eyedrops (Wally-World, Walgreen's, etc). They're the best thing I've found. I wear glasses and the simple combination of glasses and Systane works very well.
Good luck

I had the same problem with wind and dry eyes, Adrian. After looking at and trying on several brands, I settled on 'Profile' by Harley Davidson. They came with wo sets of lenses, clear and yellow, with foam inserts (that work and dont fog up). I changed to Rx transition lenses. Work great and highly recommended.

Those "eliminators" is exactly what I use. I've tried a few different riding glasses with the foam around your eyes and none of them really worked out well for me. Air would always get in and make my eyes water. I hate that.
I've found that those eliminators (or I assume most goggles with a strap) work best for me. They're usually $15 or so at the HD dealerships, but I like the idea of getting them off eBay for $6.95 better.

For 6.95 plus shipping you can get decent goggles from Global Vision. I like the eliminators. They come in clear, tinted, mirrored, yellow, blue, etc... I like the mirrored clear and tinted. No wind at all. Might be worth trying for that price. I have used them for the last 4 years and love them. Good luck. Link below:

i got wiley x and can say from experience they are absolutely no better than the $15.00 glasses you can pick up at the HD dealership. for the money i couldn't believe how cheap and poorly made they felt. they also don't transition well at all. i would not recommend them at all...

AO Safety Maxim 2x2 goggles sold under the Peltor brand name.
You can get a kit that has a goggle strap plus glasses arms, with interchangeable lenses (clear, amber, dark grey). They meet ANSI Z87.1 impact standards, just like more expensive brands, and unlike most cheaper brands. They also have a cushion that seals out most of the wind, but let's in just enough to keep them from fogging up.
Best of all you can usually get them for about $40, and I like them much better than the Wiley-X ones that cost much more.
