Default What do you guys wear for eye protection in the rain?

I had a 5 hour ride in the rain a few days ago, I was wearing some goggles but they fogged up immediately and I had to finish the ride with "bare eyes". Is there any way to prevent this or is there some kind of eye protection that is more useful in the rain?
Thanks in advance for any help.

I use UVEX Bandit safety glasses, clean with windex the coat with Pledge. Keep a cotton cloth in the windsheild bag and wipe as necessary while riding.

I wear Smith+Wesson shooting saftey glasses, clear. They are wrap around style, good nose peice and adjustable ear arms. Use them at night and rain, haven't had issues with fogging as long as I was moving keeping air flow going.

I wear perscription bifocals, so safety glasses or shooting glasses and the like won't cut it (unless they're custom-modified).

So on long trips and highways I generally wear full-face helmets, same as petemac.

FF helmets allow you to wear perscription glasses - clear or shades - and when it rains just close the visor. Keeps the glasses from fogging up, too.

For my own situation, I've discovered that for long rides in rain my full-face helmet is the difference between continuing on and stopping.

Since I have to wear prescription glasses, face shield is the only thing that works for me.
