Easy - I wear glasses & wear normal ones at night + Liberty Sport sunglasses during day/sun. Here's their m/c line-up & I have the "Chopper" glasses:

I use riding goggles when I rude with my 3/4. I have to wear glasses so I went this route since they fit over my glasses. They work really well never fog up and fit great. Don't remember the brand but I found them by googling "over glasses riding goggles" hope this helps. I'll add pics later I'm on my phone right now and don't know how to put them on except on the computer. Wish te forum would add the option to do it from your phone.

We don't have any eye protection rules here in Iowa either, and I see people all the time without glasses or any kind of helmet shield. Come to think of it, besides requiring insurance, we don't have many restrictions here, no helmet law, no noise laws, no restriction on handlebar height...

I never ride without eye protection, I can't get more than a block or two without my eyes tearing up without it. I got some cheap sunglasses on ebay that I normally wear, at night or early morning, I usually just wear a pair of safety glasses from work. Free and disposable.

Amber lensed Goggles.. Nice 100% UV protection can be had for about $20 on fleabay. Work well in rain, fog , day, night and at speed. Have safety glasses but the seal on the goggles work much better over 50mph.

I am newbie but I'm preparing to start riding this summer. I wear prescription glasses and was looking at getting a pair of prescription goggles made here.
