It is way better the trying glasses and goggles. Too much fogging!
I got the inserts made at SPORTRX
Great product and great company to order from.
In the video it talks about them.
For the glasses wearers this is a roll of the dice on the safety side. I have had two friends over the years that received cuts not from the glass but from their eye frames when they've had gnarly get offs.
Tired of being a 4-eyed muscle yanker I got LASIK Damn problem resolved
Now I have reading glasses everywhere except when I need them......damn childhood issues!!!

Like someone else said, if your glasses are moving around your helmet is not the right size.
Halos around on coming headlights & street lights that resulted about 7 years after the surgery... Hope you have no
future problems...
I am 55 years old & have wore contacts to race starting in 1975... Never had a Contact come out... My current ones
never seem to dry out in my eyes are not the easiest things to remove let alone, fall out... To hell with wear
glasses while trying to go fast...
Took 5 different brands and kinda to try but I found air optix day and night work awesome for me you can leave them in for 30 days if want too I wear them till they feel super dry or getting blurry usually after a dusty day riding I'll take them out a night out back in next morning leave them in for weeks at time.
I can see so much better overall night races is insane how much better see plus no glasses fogging up or sweat on them wish I'd figured these out years ago lol.
I had to get a new prescription for my glasses about a month ago , my old ones were just to weak for me any more. So I got my new glasses but I wasn't going to wear them until I received my RX goggles. Reason being that it would of really been a huge difference between the prescriptions. Started wearing my new glasses on a Friday night and rode Saturday morning with my RX goggle , huge mistake! My eyes hadn't adjusted and that was one really sketchy riding day! Like looking through a fish bowl!!
The next weekend , and after my eyes adjusted , the RX goggles were simply awesome! I haven't seen this good through a set of goggles in like 10yrs!
If you're interested , contact Drew over at http://rxgoggles.com . The dude is a total moto head and be ready for some long , in depth conversations!
I'm not doing lasik because the 5 people I know who did it have all had some kind of "vision is great........but," results (dry eyes, seeing halos, etc...) so I'm not interested in dealing with that every day just for the few times I ride. I tried riding with glasses, but it's a pain in the butt. Once I get sweaty, the glasses move around, plus they fog up really quickly. I'm totally going to try these inserts though......this is probably going to be the perfect solution for me.
I was out getting in some practice on a Saturday afternoon and went over the bars face first. I was wearing some wire rim glasses at the time. I got up and felt some sort of liquid pouring down my face. I stuck a hand up the face piece of my helmet to see what it was and of course it was blood, and lots of it. I rode back to my truck and pulled my helmet off to find that my glasses had basically skinned my nose when my helmet got shoved down when I went over the bars. It looked like somebody used a pair of pliers to grab the skin at the top of my nose, and yanked it down to the bottom. Anyways, I grab the skin and pull it back up to the top of my nose, put a napkin over it, then use electrical tape to hold the napkin on, then off to the ER i went. Two hours later they sewed the skin back on and life was good. Sorta. That night was my ten year high school reunion, and I showed up looking like my nose/face had just gone 5 rounds with Mike Tyson. Good times I tell ya.
