Does there exist any good "fit over" glasses for cycling?

These are sunglasses that fit over reg prescription eye glasses.

Thanks in advance

Looking in to that....

But need something in the interim

 

Have you tried the "clip-ons"? They are fold down over the lenses type. I wear glasses and contacts
(but not together). I find I can read with the glasses but I can see much further with my contacts.
I use the contacts to ride with and use a regular cheapy pair of shades...

That is other than the prescription sunglasses thing...

A number of manufacturers make frames with really strong tiny magnets near the hinge. These mate
with similar magnets on the clipons. The main frame and the clipon lens holder parts are identical.
You just put them near each other and they suck on and are very closely fitted. The clipon frame
disappears as it is the same (thin) shape as the main frames. Mine are "Optique Line 51-20
convertibles 9102". Ti material, be prepared for US$500.

 

there's a sunglass manufacturer in Maryland or Pennsylavania- in Emigsville selling to Walmart. The
sunglasses hold over your frames nosepiece and are thereon loop taped with magic tape. The plastics
are fairly distortion free, durable and drumroll please have wind wings eliminating reflections from
the rear. Mailorder os OK and get a couple browns for the fog.

Much cheaper at Sears Optical if you are in the States.

Finding standard contact lenses too tedious for daily wear (all those cleaning solutions, etc.),
not to mention their associated eye-health concerns, but needing too strong a correction (-9.5) for
most rx inserts, I use "single-use" contacts and regular sunglasses. The single use contacts cost
about $2 the pair; I only use one or two pairs a week (for casual riding I wear my regular
glasses). Single use lenses are very light and thin (they don't have to survive repeated handling);
I found them much more comfortable than regular ones. Caveat: if you have bad astigmatism, contacts
are not for you.
