Helmet with glasses on...

[EazyDuz]

Due to an irritating eye allergy i have no choice but to ride with glasses on until it clears up and i can go back to contacts.
I'm quite short sighted and when riding, i found that the vibrations/general road bumpiness shook the glasses around a bit making my vision wobbley, which felt quite dangerous at times.
Is there a way around this? My glasses do have quite thick arms on them, would thinner arms help? The helmet itself is shaking the arms up and down i think which is really irritating.
Thanks

Get a lid that fit's? Mine has never shaken my specs and they have quite thick arms on them.

Might just be my high prescription to be honest, shaking them slightly on my face has the same affect. Will just have to make do

I wear glasses. Its the bits of the arms that go past your ears and stick out behind your ears that are the problem. The helmet can press down on them and raise the glasses off your nose.

You can either get another lid such as HJC or Arai which doesnt have this problem, or you can cut into the polystryrene of your lid to remove the problem. Or you can chop off the end bits of your glasses.

The Arai even has channels for the arms so they arent pressed against your head.

How about - new invention - a prescription visor which replaces the need for wearing glasses while on a bike?

Also been an issue for me this last few weeks. Got a new pair of glasses with thick arms, feckers constantly feel like they are gonna snap. My last pair had thinner, slightly more flexible arms and have not had an issue with them in 4-5 years. Its just the new pair >.<

I can't recommend laser eye surgery enough.

HJad mine done two years ago, main motivation being that I didn't like how i looked wearing glassed, and second to avoid the issues with my bike helmet.

Laser works out cheaper in the long run compared to contacts too.

I also wear glasses due to being short sighted.I have never had a problem with wearing glasses,even racing in enduros.But then the goggles that I wear are specifically designed for people who wear spectacles.

My road lid is an Arai and is quite close fitting.

I wear glasses and they fuck me off so much, contact lenses make me faint so I can't use them

But mine just raise and sit slightly on my eyebrows. So annoying but once I get going they stay still and do the job fine, it's just one of those things.

I'd love laser surgery but far too scared to go down that route yet.. my eyes are constantly changing as it is

I've got three sets of glasses, and the best ones are cheap ones with relatively large lenses and normal unflexible arms. They are a bit of a pain to get behind the ears, but once there they don't move and I can see perfectly well with them.

Been wearing glasses since before the beginning of time.

Had various pairs of glasses, never had a problem.

Maybe it's down to prescription or something.

been wearing glasses since I was 12, so used to them now I can't see the point of laser surgery or contacts. I have a HJC helmet and no problems with wearing them.

I just cut the padding out of the lids cheek pads.

Trim a few mm off and stitch up.

I'm sure I read somewhere that it can't actually be done. Something to do with the angles and shear size of a visor.

I doubt you'd ever get near to the clear clarity of normal glasses and also what happens when you fog up / pay for petrol

Don't think it would work very well.
