Prescription goggles/glasses

For the crowd of 4 eyed people like me- any good suggestions on prescription goggles or prescription sunglasses that reduce air flow into the eyes? I currently use contacts with goggles. I get headaches from the contacts do to astigmatism. Any suggestions are welcome.

Thanks,

Steve

I got a pair of glasses for the bike when I did my prescription at Wal-mart. At the time they had a buy one get the second at 50%. Really like them.

When I needed to wear glasses I used the GV Adaptables I still use the sunglasses without the rx insert. I am on my second set of them. I like the way they wrap around and keep the dust out of your eyes and they are also very light. A little pricey but you get 4 different glasses. I took the insert to my optometrist and she put my rx in them. They were great and didn't look like rx at all

I have a pair of Bobster's with a RX insert. Works really well in rain. They come with 3 different lenses and changable ear pices to a strap.

I got my RX sunglasses at walmart. They are the biker style with blue frames, and blue mirrored lenses. They also have the foam around the inside to keep the wind out. I really like them a lot. With my insurance they were $35.

This seems to be very good. If you're feeling rich. I think doc has a pair of these and is happy with them:
