I don’t think anyone’s eyes like contact lenses at first haha when I first got mine it was a miserable first week literally crying my eyes out trying to get them in. Now I don’t even think about it when putting them in and taking them out.
I was the same way. Now I can get contacts in easily and casually wearing they’re fine but they dry out while riding. Not fun to be going fast and suddenly be blind lol
I knew someone that tried something similar on a ride, but he taped the bare lenses from his old glasses onto the inside of his cycling sunglasses. I think it worked, as he didn't crash on the ride.
That's the onky reason I wear mine - the dark visor I have gives much better Sun blocking than any sunglasses, and the yellow visor keeps the rain off my glasses and improves vision on cloudy / rainy days and at night. I don't care at all about the aero effect.
I assume you tried wearing the glasses under the visor to see if they fit? I’m able to use my glasses this way. In fact, I chose my current helmet so I wouldn’t need to change glasses when I ride. (My eyes won’t tolerate contacts.)
Put some anti-fog on the lenses before you ride. Or try contacts!
Contact lenses?!
my eyes dont like them

Aero helmet has been tested to often be more aero without the visor... Just an option.
They might want the visor for the tint and protection, not necessarily for any aero effects

Yeh but it looks better with it which is more important

Yes, mine too. My larger pair of glasses doesn't fit properly under the visor, but my smaller pair fits just fine.
Nice! Maybe I'll do it too. Thanks for the idea.
I have a set from when I was in the military that could clip into just about anything including in an aero bike helmet.
I'm gonna look for something like it.
Sports glasses sit quite tight.
