Quick update I have just ordered a helmet in a large instead of the usual medium I've always been or always thought I was I'm going to see if this helps It is the easiest and cheapest fix for now I might still need to get different glasses again but will be easier than changing my head failing all above I might have to sit around the house in helmets to wear them in like a new pair of shoes
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.
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'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.
I did at one time use contacts but I did a monthly subscription with specsavers but as I was only using them for the bike I ended up with a stock that went out of date before I got to use them I thought when first trying them I'd have an issue sticking my fingers in my eyes but it never did in the end because you aren't really touching the eye so it just didn't seem worth carrying on with the monthly subscription and I do have varying strength in each eye
I was offered this treatment in the future because I have a type of glaucoma but I don't like the idea of being awake when they are cutting into my eyes I have had Lazer treatment to open the vessels at the back of the eye as I was getting a lot of headaches that until we moved and changed doctors wasn't diagnosed just kept sending me away with different tablets saying I had a type of migraine but the years of going through this but forgive the pun but it really is sometimes better to see a problem through new eyes
I do agree as I've always been a medium I do realize that like in every product out there especially in the clothing industry that there doesn't seem to be an industry standard and what might fit well from one company may not in one way or another it doesn't help with Asian factories banging out clothing and flooding the world and same manufacturers different labels VW and Skoda for instance in the motor trade Anyway I will either have two or three large unworn on the road to a dozen or so mediums for sale
