I found that even with goggles designed for over glasses one or the other always fog up. I tried contact lenses for skiing by getting a free sample closest to my prescription. (I'm short sighted). I think it was 5 or 7 for each eye at no cost. I don't ski all day so I took them out after skiing each day and used them for 2 days to last the duration of our trip. Now I just buy the smallest amount of lenses each time we ski. In Singapore or Hong Kong (so long ago I can't remember!) there was a sunglasses shop selling contact lenses. Take a photo of your prescription in case you come across it. They were cheaper than here in Perth.

Interested to follow this thread. My husband wears glasses and has some Adidas sports sunglasses - Evil Eye I think with prescription lenses you can slot in. They've been great for sunny days and although pricy for the initial outlay he says definitely worth the investment. He has never found anything that works on cold snowy days. Had OTG goggles and some Oakley ones I bought him with a ventilator fan at the top but as soon as he sweats a little everything steams up! I need glasses too now but use varifocal contact lenses much much easier.
