I have to wear glasses too but on the bike I wear contact lenses. Have to save for the laser surgery - sick of wearing the glasses. the fogging is annoying but one or two things also annoy me. Contacts are my bane - sensitive eyes mean disposable lenses. Sure who cares once your out and about :)

Laser is the only answer if your eligible for it.
Cost me a bomb cos i was blind as a bat, wearing glasses sinse I was 8.
I know have 20/20 vision and in the longrun I will save money of glasses,contacts and walking into poles.

1800e for both eyes to be done, I hated all that putting glasses on with the lid.

Do it. I was the same six months back, contacts were always uncomfortable and trying to use a bike every day with glasses gets annoying. Laser is the best thing I've ever done.
