Good tips. But in TCR you're probably not going to have that stuff to hand, when the storm kicks off. I got caught by a biblical rainstorm in Croatia in TCR 2016 and I had to take my glasses off. I could just make out the white line in the middle of the road and followed that. Would have loved contacts then, but wouldn't have been able to put them in with waterlogged hands. Best plan would be to put them in before the storm came, of course!

I agree that rain on glasses at night is pretty horrible, especially in traffic or around bright lights. However, I've found that a good squirt of silicon-based furniture polish helps prevent the rain from beading on the surface of the lenses.
I've also put a wipe of clear silicon sealant along the fingers of all of my long cycling gloves, so that I can wipe the lenses - windscreen wipers effectively. That also works really well.
