I love commute by bike for grocery and stuff, but riding in rain is my least favorite stuff ever. Even though i have poncho, it makes me looks like a Ring Wraith on bicycle, and it's quite fussy trying to put it on. And even i get to keep everything dry somehow, the rain drop might sometime score a direct hit on my eyeball like the car salesman slapping the car. It's annoying, irritating, and frankly quite dangerous. My vision is blurred, so is my glasses, and it almost got me into trouble a few times.

So how do you guys protect your eye and keep your vision clear? I live in tropical area so the rain can be quite heavy at time, and i can't wait until it stop because sometime it will go on for hours, even if it get lighter.

I agree. Got fake (chinese?) poc devour glasses which cost 1/10 the price of the original thing. Though allegedly the vision quality is not on par with the originals (...that's to be expected) they're big enough to cover half your face from the elements and yet somehow almost never fog - not an easy feat in my case because I always wear a bandana covering mouth and nose.

Oh and they came with 4 lenses and a plastic thing where you can mount your prescription glasses, which allegedly the originals do not have.
