Apart from the obvious "take your glasses off" suggestions (which doesn't help much because then your eyes are exposed to whatever dirt an muck gets flung up by your wheels and by other vehicles), does anyone have any suggestions, experiences?
I don't find a problem with muck being thrown up, partly because I have mudguards and partly because of the 'bent riding position.
I've found a strip of suede or similar on a glove finger can quickly wipe [censored] off visors and glasses, but it's not a great solution.
I have a peak on my cycle helmet which is movable, when it's pissing down I have the peak as low as possible and that helps by keeping a little of the water off my face.

I too wear a helmet with a peak for commuting - less sun exposure and it helps with vision in rain.
When my glasses get too wet/dirty, giving them a lick while on the move can help (girls, yes, I can do this without removing them 😉

Ha! I will see if I can get my black labrador to give the lenses a once over - whenever I pick up her bowl after she has eaten, I struggle to pick it up as it is hyper-slippery, even when I try and wash it off, it seems to be impervious to water, soap, industrial strength draino etc.
Where are the Pedro's* windscreen wiper glasses with free replacement blades when you need them???
