Hey everyone,

I’m trying to find some eyewear that will protect my eyes from the wind. I really would like to stay active and this is the one thing that is bothering me. Regular sunglasses don’t work as the wind just travels around it.

Has anyone found something that covers the top and bottom of the glasses as well as the sides? If so could you share where you found them and what they were called?

Thank you so much!!

Hello – I don’t know if this is exactly what you are looking for, but several eye docs at our past conferences have recommended this company:

If you don’t mind looking a little “buggy” try some motorcycle goggles:D

Hi,
I have looked at the site Kimberly mentioned, but I had just “stocked up” on
glasses that are called either slip overs or slide overs, at the drug store. They stock them only in the summer, beginning about now. They fit nicely over my huge regular glasses (come in small medium large) and they have the things on the side that are like sunglasses, hard to explain. My problem is that i leave the damn things EVERYWHERE!!! They are around $19. I also have them everywhere! By the front door, by the back door, 3 or 4 in my car. I have tried grey, brown and a reddish tint, but for me, darker is better.

A brand I like a lot is Solar Shield.
You can also go to the website Dry Eye Zone, it is quite good and i think they recommend some, also.
I am resigned to wearing them all the time, and I am helpless without them, =very photophobic. I also saw shop glasses in the hardware store True Value that looked like they might protect you from the wind.
The ones I mentioned do a pretty good job

Thank you Shirley. I will look at my drugstore for those. I’m getting pretty desperate…

Hi Diane. As mentioned in this post, Harley-Davidson (and I’m sure other brands) sell a goggle or eyeglass cover that goes over your existing glasses and blocks all wind. They are available in clear or sunglasses. I bought for my husband and he won’t ride without them. Search their website. Good luck.

Thanks Karen! I will keep those in mind if these slip overs don’t do the trick!,
