Riding a bike without any eye protection defeats the main purpose of equipping yourself with a bike suit and bike helmet. These outfits are specifically designed to protect the rider from the elements, so it only makes sense for him to venture out when he is fully clothed, rather than exposing a vital part of his body. Bicycle glasses are designed to protect the eyes of the cyclist, and that is very important, since he definitely needs his vision to be in optimal conditions to avoid a bicycle accident.

The problem with bike sunglasses is that polarized glasses are pretty hard to see unless you’re cycling in sunny weather. As clouds come and go in the sky, the cyclists’ view will also vary based on the available light passing through the lens. Trying on any other type of goggles, such as those worn by basketball players, isn’t exactly suitable for cycling either, as they aren’t designed to prevent wind from entering the eyes when riding at high speeds. It goes without saying that riding a bike with dry eyeballs is not only painful, but also detrimental to vision.

When you go at high speeds, many tiny particles will brush against your face, and cycling glasses are one of the best methods to keep your eyes protected. A decent pair of glasses should come with treated lenses that remain scratch-proof, as with regular glasses, it could be quite uncomfortable trying to see around the fine lines in the eyeglass lenses.
Inspiration Protection
Another big problem with bike sunglasses is that they don’t do much to prevent sweat from dripping onto your eyeballs. Salty fluid reaching one of your most exposed organs is not only very painful, but it will also disrupt your cycle for quite some time. On the other hand, the glasses are placed around the eye area to protect them even from the sweat of the forehead. Conveniently, there are also bike goggles that come with sponges to absorb sweat.
