I have a pair of goggles I wear alot, sort of like the ones Riddick wore in Pitch Black.
I picked them up years ago when I was riding my motorcycle, man do I miss it now, '71 Harley Shovelhead... drooooolllllll
anyhow, they are great and my mirror clips on them just fine, and yes I get some strange looks.

spit is excellent.
so is baby shampoo. rub one small dot around the inside of the lens. rinse (gently). the soap film prevents fog and the baby part keeps the sting out of your eyes.

My daughter used swim goggles for about a month of commuting then gave up on them. Swimming goggle have cheap plastic lenses that scratch everytime you try to clean them and they became worthless.

I also started using motorcycle goggles (ala Riddick), after getting frustrated with riding through swarms of insects, or dust clouds from construction/tractors/wind. Fanfreakintastic. I can't say how much I've been teased about my new look, but I won't go back to regular sunglasses. I even bought a pair of untinted goggles for night riding.
They're also great for riding in winter conditions, keep the eyeballs warm. Fogging up is only a problem if my scarf or facemask channels my exhalations over them.

For riding in the dark I have a pair of yellow safety glasses that are laser rated. I used to operate industrial lasers on a night shift and kept them on one night as I was driving home and found that they aid in my visibility.
Now if I could only find yellow tinted goggles.

You might be able to get ski goggles with interchangeable lenses. I'm not sure how they handle rain, though.

Hey, actually, that makes sense. I wonder if that would keep sweat out of my eyes?
That's something my sunglasses suck at.
