I'm glad of my glasses while cycling. I've looked into prescription sports/cycling glasses - thinking they might be lighter, less likely to fog, better angle of view etc - but my prescription's too strong for them not to be painfully expensive and almost no choice.
I feel so ridiculously vulnerable with the wind in my eyes, and had some awkward moments with contact lenses in the past where a small fly or something has got in, blink like mad, lens dislodges or moves out of position*. Haven't worn lenses in decades but I did try both hard (gas permeable) and soft dailies.
*I have some weirdness with the viscosity of my tears, apparently, so this may not be normal.
