Style aside, I am a little surprised at your preference for small cut
glasses. IIRC you are an AME and I would have thought you would prefer
large glasses due to their increased coverage and greater effectiveness as
safety glasses to protect your eyes from small flying objects in the
workshop.


The larger lenses also block more air when you're riding a motorcycle... I
learned that after I got my new glasses recently and had to switch back to
the old ones while riding my bike due to the wind drying my eyes out so
quickly that I'm having to keep them just barely cracked at any speed over
35 mph...


Wouldn't it be easier to just wear a helmet?
