Back in pre Oakley, pre Greg Lemond days we never wore eye wear apart from non cycling specific sunglasses on occasion. I don't know how we managed ! Nowadays for all but the winter months I never ride without them, on those odd days when for whatever reason I don't I can practically guarantee an insect/seed/dust strike within minutes of starting the ride. I use cheapo Decathlon glasses with amber lenses, enough to stop glare but bright enough for dawn/dusk/tree cover.
amber lenses should NEVER be worn in bright conditions as they are designed to enhance what is visible. they are NOT sunglasses. Bolle , UVEX , Oakley will all give good advice on protective glasses. being the mercenary I am I get them all to come to site for demos and have learned a lot about protective glasses
