Thought I'd put this one out there. I most often wear an open face helmet and sunnies when riding (except in winter when it's friggin cold and I dust off the full face casket). The sunnies are normal wrap around type sunnies. What I find occasionaly though is some dust or road shit will get under the sunnies while I'm riding, which at the time isn't so bad but when I go to sleep and wake up the next morning one of my eyes is really bloodshot. Does anyone else have this problem and if so would wearing goggles possibly be the answer?
I wear Ugly Fish glasses with the rubber seal,I find they do the jobb well,I have a dark pair for the daytime and a clear pair for the night ,don't like the replaceable lens type,too easy to break something,and they aren't that expensive,about $45pr.

sunnies day n night
Goggles...
Sunnies day and night. They are photochromatic so the tint gets lighter in low light.
Wiley X
Ugly Fish sunnies, the rubber gasket is removable, as well the arms clip off and an elastic strap clips on in a matter of seconds. The maker of these is really good to deal with too. I had the seal tear and the retailer (large well known Melbourne bike store ) didn't want to know about it. spoke to the owner of UF and he gave me a new seal and a bus' card to ring if it ever happened again.
I have a separate pair of clear glasses for night riding and use an anti fog called Cat Crap ( ???? ). don't know why it's called that but it works .
Same as stbobrhino
Uglyfish, Catcrap and clear (yellow tints) goggles for night time.
Ugly fish are the go, dark tint for day riding and yellow tint for night stuff. The elastic strap stops your eyes watering when your going hard. Strap fits under lid not around it.

Found this site on the web that sells them:

I use Ugly Fish too, about $60 but I still got dust in my eyes at speed. I blocked up all the airholes with masking tape and blacked the tape with a texta. Works perfectly using the strap which makes for a tighter fit as still a bit of air gap with the sunny arms. I guess we all have different shaped faces. They DO fog up a little indoors but clear within 50 m. Just don't hit anything in the first 50m and you'll be fine!! I also have some eyedrops that I use when I get home from a long ride as sometimes a little air still gets in!
Ugly Fish - 3 pack for around $100.... only problem I have had is the rubber. Might try their cruiser goggles as they seem to have a larger lens.
I use some glasses from the 'biker glasses.com' from the states. I have a pair of dark lens for day riding and clear ones for night riding. They cost about $20 delivered and I recommend them. I have used 2 pair of Wiley X and a pair of Eyeride goggles and find the current glasses keep out the wind (and bugs) just as well as the expensive ones. And for $20 I don't mind if they get lost (one pair fell out of my shoulder bag) or scratched.
I use a pair of "Choppers" mirror'd shades I got from Ebay. vented with the rubber eye pieces and havnt had any drama's yet and I have been through a few bugs splats with them through Serpentine ect and on the freeway doing 120 ish and no problem except first thing in the morning on a bloody cold morn me eyes waterin a bit.
Foggin no problem cleared in seconds after leaving lights.
Hey Crasher... where's the pics
