Being a glasses wearer myself I have experienced this darkened, smeary
light point filled, focus free, terror trip home.

Is there any thing to be done about it other than get contacts?

Has anyone tried rainex or other on their glasses?


Get new lenses. I had the same problem for years; when I finally broke
down and got fitted for a new set of glasses, the new ones had
polycarbonate lenses with an anti-reflective coating (highly
recommended) and the coating also apparently acts similar to Rain-X.
Much improved when caught in the rain. They still do fog up
occasionally though e.g. when going into an air-conditioned building in
the summertime; not much to be done about that I'm afraid.


I have lenses like this and they do seem better but I find only when the
weather is warm. On cooler rainy rides they don't seem to help much.
