Glasses Wearer

Sounds great and just what I wanted to do but....... I just can't get past the blink reflex and sticking my finger in my eye
I tried contacts for a week and one day I got one eye done in 20 seconds
Yippee........ the second took 20 minutes and by that time it was itchy and irritated

I gave up on the idea by day 5.

As a non-glasses wearer up to 40 years of age, I do miss not wearing them .

Bifocal lenses can damage your confidence by putting the kerb, for example, in two focal planes on corners etc dependant on the angle or level of your view.

Glasses are a pain.

 

Not sure going up a size is your best option, a loose fitting helmet just isn't safe in any incident

 

You don’t have to stick your finger in your eye. Forefinger and thumb of one hand spreads the eyelids open whilst forefinger of other hand with lens balanced on the tip puts the lens on the eyeball. You will find that you don’t need to actually touch your eye as the lens, when very close will suck itself onto the eyeball.

I can get both eyes sorted in under a minute. 40 seconds this morning.

 

I wish I could

I know the theory but......

 

I'm of the same opinion with contacts. I tried but just can't live with them, or rather the putting in and taking out bit, plus, large sausage fingers don't help, useful for some things but a bit of a liability when they get anywhere near your eyes.

 

My glasses have very thin bendy metal legs, they are superb under my Shoei.

You're never going to be comfortable pushing bulky platic frames between your head and your helmet.

 

My glasses frames spring both ways so there's less chance of bending them feeding them into the helmet.

Arm angular movement gives around plus 30⁰ further than 90⁰ (on head position) and fully inwards to flat as normal, say about 120⁰ in total.

 

I had lens replacement done about 5 years ago. Best thing I ever did, Not cheap, but I don't need glasses now. I can even see the small print on restaurant menus in low light.
