Oakley Pit Bulls for the day, and a pair of Ruger Shooting glasses at night with a yellow lens.

That's what I did. I got the pair that has the removable foam. Very nice.
Now, I wear prescription glasses under a 3/4 helmet with a dark tint shield. If I get caught out at night, I flip the shield up and use my prescription glasses. I'm intrigued by the goggles over glasses for the times I wanna use my brain bucket.

I grabbed mine for about $20+shipping (I remember it being cheep) they come with one tented and one clear lens that are easy to swap in and out. They are safty certified not to brake in an accident. I'm posting pics later.
Thanks for the info. Found quite a few Goggles over Glasses. Seems like the way to go.

1/2 helmet and no helmet I wear yellow sunglasses. The sunlight doesn't bother me during the day and I can still see good at night. $10 bucks at a flea market for ones with padding that stick to my face and don't let air in.

Wiley-X Airage prescription glasses here with removable foam inserts and strap. They are transitions, non glare, and have extra tint added.
