tithead Posted July 8, 2006 Report Share Posted July 8, 2006 iv worn glasses for around 7 years now.... yes im a legend in club 4 eyes. when i go to racing i wear my glasses while firing round the track. its getting a pain in the ass but if i took them off i would prolly crash and burn. im currently looking into contact lenses... taken a while i know! i was wondering if anyone here rides with glasses on? i know that most of you while out riding on a sunny day may wear shades, but im talking about spectacles. the reason i ask is im curious and would like to see if you take your glasses off when riding, keep them on or take them off to put in contacts? does anyone wear glasses in general? tithead.

MinEsFasteR79 Posted July 8, 2006 Report Share Posted July 8, 2006 I just got glasses today but my eye doc. said I'll only have to wear them 30% of the time. I wear them when im driving, but I don't think I'll wear them to go riding. I guess it kind of depends on how bad your eyes are. :shrug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJO89 Posted July 8, 2006 Report Share Posted July 8, 2006 Ive had glasses for about the past year now. And i wear them whenever i ride. They dont bother me at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeepman137 Posted July 8, 2006 Report Share Posted July 8, 2006 im 19 as of tmrw, and ive worn glasses since around the 3rd grade, and ive always worn them while riding.. i have a pair of Scott goggles that have bigger padding i guess around the eyes for people with glasses so the goggles are more elevated off your face so it doesnt squish your lasses into your face while riding...

RNBRAD Posted July 8, 2006 Report Share Posted July 8, 2006 I wear glasses and generally wear them riding. I have a very low prescription so it's not a have to issue and I sometimes wear sunglasses. Contacts is an option but I would wear goggles in dusty conditions if you do. Otherwise glasses will be better to wear, you need some kind of eye protection.

MrTJ Posted July 8, 2006 Report Share Posted July 8, 2006 I used to wear classes and or contacts while riding untill i got eye surger and got rid of the need for both The contacts kind of bothered me with the dust even with goggles but i never had any probloms with the glasses.

korndawg Posted July 8, 2006 Report Share Posted July 8, 2006 I have tried to ride without my glasses, and it gets ugly. I always ride with mine on now, and just got some of the scott or smith goggles that are made to go over your glasses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also use spy goggles anf they seem to fit great over my glasses frames. :baseball_w00t: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Banshee_19 Posted July 8, 2006 Report Share Posted July 8, 2006 I have a very weak prescription, but I find it helps me to ride with my glasses on. I also have a set of smith goggles that I wear over my glasses, so I don't ruin my glasses. Works great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHEe DEVIL Posted July 8, 2006 Report Share Posted July 8, 2006 I have had glasses for over 10 yrs now. when I go riding i always wear my contacts. my sunglasses fit perfectly when i wear my helmet. I have never worn my glasses riding or to work for that matter. If I get dust in the contacts I carry a small thing of eye drops and wash my eyes out good. I have never had a problem.

csrmel Posted July 8, 2006 Report Share Posted July 8, 2006 there is actually goggles that you can buy with youre own perscription built into the lens, so that you dont need to wear glasses when riding. its similar to scuba diving head gear. there is company who makes perscription built in for that too. i have poor vision in 1 eye. my eye doc says that it causes me to see monocouarly, meaning i dont have any depth perception. maybe thats why i ride so crazy. cause i dont know how far away things are.

Animalman294 Posted July 9, 2006 Report Share Posted July 9, 2006 Ya, I've heard of those lenses that have your prescription in them and they work pretty good. I had a friend in college that wore the prescription scuba lenses and loved them. Make a few calls and see, try your optometrist................ :beer: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bansheefreak Posted July 9, 2006 Report Share Posted July 9, 2006 hi im shawn and im 4 eyes too.... lol i dont normally wear my glasses when riding but i have noticed since i got glasses i wreck more when riding so maybe i should where them.. i dont need glasses to drive so they arent real bad but when my eyeballs are used to looking 20/15 then i got to 20/30 it gives me head ache and makes dizzy.. like gettin drunk for free... but i only notice for short while my eye typically get used to not having glasses on so normally i go all weekend with out them when i go duning.. but im starting to try riding with them on more... its cheaper in the long run...

I have those too, and have had no problems. I have thought about looking into the prescription goggles though. I think those would be nice.
