Helmet ventilation

I don't have the money, but if I did I'd buy glasses that have the aviation style ear ends. 
I have to take off my glasses to put on or take off my helmet, and with the normal style glasses this is a pain.  Not only that, but the anti-fog setup on my HJC FS-10 helmet works great for the shield, but my glasses fog up pretty good.  So, I was actually thinking about contacts.  "Which way do I go?"

What do you all do so you have good vision when you ride?  Contacts and sunglasses?  prescription glasses?  prescription sunglasses?

LASIK. 

After 20 years of wearing glasses, I decided to finally ditch them a couple years ago.  Especially since they restricted my peripheral vision while riding (which is already restricted enough wearing a full face helmet). 

It's not cheap, but my vision went from 20/200 in one eye, and 20/400 with an astigmatism in the other, to 20/20 and 20/15.  Best safety item purchase since I got my license!

I don't run into too much cold weather except in early spring when I have to cross the mountains. To keep my head from freezing and my eyes from streaming tears I pull over and put on my sweatshirt hood on and up inside my fullface helmet, followed by my goggle style sunglasses. This pretty much takes care of the problem for me by blocking off the airflow and the close fitting sun glasses blocking any drafts the face shield misses.

Hey everyone,

OK, well, I ordered the chin guard, and sure enough, I can ride without tears now.   

I've been considering the Lasik, it's come down a great deal in price, but I will have to wait until my contract is over now to do it.  I'm thinking next summer.

I've taken to wearing my old (soldered back together) glasses when I ride, and that helps a great deal.  The contacts are way easier to manage now wit the chin guard.  Now it's just the hyperactive AC at work that's making the contacts tough to wear.

Back to your issue, have you considered a windshield on the bike? If you have a small one, they don't really do jack, IMHO.

That will definitely keep the wind off you. Helps in cold and wet weather too. Protects you also from debris (like pebbles and rocks) all the way out to your hands. Comes off in a jiffy too, in case you want the "wind in your contacts" feel. 

Just a thought. 

I actually have a windscreen, but I really don't like it.  I have a Givi a755 if memory serves.  It buzzes, and typically halves my gas mileage.  Might as well run up the kms on the Mustang at the mileage the Givi gets.
