Nice point unfortunately I do wear bifocals, will keep that in mind.

My prescription is to strong to put the rx in the riding glasses or goggles.I have two pair of Guard Dog Evader 1 goggles and love them!Fit nicely over my glasses and are not too big.

Both my wife and I got our prescription riding glasses from http://riderseye.com/ . Prices start at $80for any of their RX frames with tinted prescription lenses. One of the nicethings is they can add all of the stuff you get on regular RX glasses. Bifocals,progressives, different color tints (including mirror) even transitions lenses.Once we ordered, took about 2 1/2 weeks to get them.

Goggles made for skiing work well over glasses.

This is what I wear, just a little over 20 bucks at the dealership. They come in clear, amber and dark. I just keep them in my bags if I need to change out...

As do I. I rode with them all last year and they give a nice field of view, fit over my glasses, but they do push the frames up to my face a little. It took a couple rides to get used to them. But I can say, NO MORE SAND in my eyes! Helps a bunch with the wind at 70mph as well. You do get strange looks from people, when they see the " Bug Eyes ", but I enjoy thier reactions. I bought mine on Amazon though, for a great price.

These are the dark lensed:

And these I use for night riding. They have a little tint to them, but not bad:
