Glasses problem

[vickster]

Which then gets thrown by the roadside? If you must, a handkerchief would be more civilised.

No, it goes in my bag or pocket until I find a bin

I have eyes that are wind sensitive (on a windy day, I'm crying round the golf course, although often for other reasons).

Couple with that is my almost feminine eyelashes. They are long and beautiful. But not practical.

Basically within about 3 minutes the inside of my glasses is a mess.

Surely other cyclists have this issue? What is the solution for the well endowed like me?

I'm very similar to you, I tend not to notice whilst I am riding and clean them when I get to my destination, if they get really bad a quick wipe with whatever top I am wearing

Get one of these:

Or failing that:

It sounds to me that your tear ducts are blocked. Tears/water will normally drain down to the nose and out that way. If tear ducts are blocked the water is forced out of your eyes.
The cure is to have the tear ducts cleared which is "apparently" an unpleasant experience.
HOW DO I KNOW THIS????
I have the same problem and have spoken to 2 specialist who both told me "only have it done if its really necessary".
I just cannot cycle in the winter. I play golf but really suffer if its anything like a cold wind.

Going snorkelling?

Rec specs are a pretty good option. Wrap around prescription shades. Not goggles but if your playing contact sport, on the water or cycling they're great. My eyes water a bit in just my glasses but I don't think they do at all when wearing my wraparounds.

Sjogrens? A family member has that, and eye watering was a symptom. Here's some other causes, though.

I have this, and it makes cycling decidedly unpleasant at times. I'm hoping to get prescription wraparound sports glasses this summer. I don't get watering eyes though, as I don't have any flow of tears anymore. It feels like they want to water, but they physically can't.

I'm currently using builder's basic safety goggles - oddly enough, people throwing buildings around don't like their vision suddenly obscured by mist, so that's something we have in common. Stylish they ain't, but they do work well for stopping my eyes streaming in the cold/wind/faster-riding. I keep meaning to try to the slightly better-looking http://www.screwfix.com/p/bolle-overlight-clear-lens-overspecs-large/5604f but haven't yet.

My eyes water when I see the prices on Rapha kit

Mrs. GA keeps claiming that without clipping, my eyebrows will go this way. Sometime next week.

My eyes water very profusely on cold mornings but the only way I can reduce it is by 'squeezing' the eye lids together at very regular intervals.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
