  1. I wear eye glasses and sometimes magetic clip-on polaroids when I ride.

    I have noticed that my left eye gets really teary and it is hard to see especially riding downhill at say 40 km/h and above. For example down the Esses and Conrod Straight at Mt Panorama, Bathurst NSW. (It was my first time and I was under brakes in the Esses but got to 67 km/h on Conrod).

    I hesitate to take my hands off the handlebars to clear my eyes and end up blinking and squinting through my left and right eyes until my velocity reduces.

    I already wear glasses so additional goggles may or may not be the solution to keep the wind out of my eyes.

    Does anyone have a suggested solution to this issue?

  2. Cycling specific glasses with prescription lenses?

    I suspect that the problem could be either my eyes being too sensitive or that the wind is blowing in behind the lenses. Are cycling glasses "wrap around" and are they designed to prevent this?

    I will have to look for a pair somewhere.

    These guys may be able to help me, I'm not yet sure if they can do a perscription for a short sighted person.
