Prescription Wiley-X glasses are available with a patented removable foam facial cavity seal. This seal effectively converts a pair of glasses into goggles in that it seals the eyes from wind, dust, debris, and peripheral light. Unlike goggles, you can quickly convert them back into normal glasses, and they're much more stylish.
These glasses are also ANSI Z87.2 safety approved, which means they pass the same toughness requirements as safety glasses. They are incredibly versatile in that you can use them for motorcycle glasses, safety glasses, sunglasses, or as simple prescription glasses with a clear lens for indoor use. By choosing the right options, you can make them into indoor or outdoor glasses, or even both.

The winds common to high-speed riding will dry out the eyes and produce blurred vision. The short-term consequence is a possible road accident, while chronically dry eyes can cause dry eye syndrome.
Dry eye syndrome is the condition where the eyes don't produce enough tears. Without moisture and lubrication, the cells of the cornea would dehydrate and die. Tears help small eye wounds heal and contain antibacterial and antiviral agents that fight off infections. All of these functions are diminished in people with dry eye syndrome. If you hike in outdoor environments with high winds, downhill ski, or bicycle on windy days, you face the same problems.
Blocks Peripheral Light
Like wind, peripheral light gets into the space between the inside of the lens and your eye from the side. Why does this matter? It degrades the effectiveness of UV blocking lenses because the eye still gets UV light coming in from the side. This UV light reflects off the inside lens surface into your eye. Peripheral light reflection also bypasses the glare protection of sunglasses. Sometimes you may even see the reflection of your own face on the inside of your lens. This light also diminishes the effectiveness of polarized lenses. The same is true with blue blocking lenses as
