For those of you that wear glasses. Do you wear them when you ride? Are you worried about them falling off?
Now that I have them, It’s amazing how much detail I can see I never want to take them off.

Sometimes I wear flip up shades for the same function. They don't block the airflow.

I have pretty bad presbyopia and significant astigmatism, which requires progressive lenses. They don’t work well on the bike and i end up looking over my glasses when I’m in the drops, which I am a lot. Therefore, I wear crummy old Oakley military ballistic glasses with planar lenses on the bike and carry a pair of drugstore readers if I think I’m going to have to read maps on my phone. Also, my prescription sunglasses cost about 800 a pop and I don’t want to ruin them in a crash or something.

I don't want to be run over.
The price didn't double this week.

Long afternoon on the lawn. I had to pick up all the debris that the cyclone left last week. I did more back stretching today than DougRNS does in a month. At least I didn't have snot hanging off my nose today.
Lots of robins hopping around on the lawn when I mow. I think they like me.

BUT, I don't have your eyes, so I don't have your vision. I don't know what your deficiencies are. Mine's astigmatism. Without glasses, everything looks taller and thinner than it really is. When my wife heard that, she asked the eye doctor, "Does he REALLY have to get glasses?"

yes. no. I'm short sighted with astigmatism with a big discrepancy between eyes (-1.75 v -5.2) I can't see far and have bugger all depth perception without glasses. I'm frugal about my glasses. I buy the cheapest pair I can. I have an older spare pair if I kill/lose my main pair. I have inserts for cycling glasses. They are a pain as they get covered in sweat easily.

Because I've had cataract surgery, I can see fine without glasses, even my bike computer if I keep the digits a decent size. Still, I buy bifocal safety glasses at $10-$12 a pair. I own several pair in different shades.

I hate glasses. They bother the tops of my ears. I have tried a pince-nez which solves the problem but looks uber-dorky and they are not secure enough to wear on a bike anyway.
I wear contact lenses most of the time.
For cycling, I really wanted to try those Lazer Magneto eyewear, which have little magnets so the arms of the glasses end at your temples, but they never really caught on and I never even got to try them.
