For me normal street riding was not too bad, It’s just that I find myself having to adjust my riding position so I am not seeing over the top of my glasses; Which is a huge problem when I hit the track.

> Funny you should ask, I just switched for an applicable reason. My old contacts (Acuvue 2 I think…) would feel dry and irritate my eyes in any dusty or windy scenario. I have a bad habit of driving with my helmet shield cracked open at the bottom, so that happened instantly on track. I switched to Acuvue Oasys because they let more oxygen into your eye and the problem is dramatically improved. They are also much more comfortable to wear for long periods during the day and dont hurt after 12-14 hrs like other brands did. Price isnt bad either.

Funny also you mentioned Acuvue Oasys, that is something I read a lot about people using for riding. I will have to give that a try once I got my prescription.
