    I bought some cheap glasses to use when riding, really thin frame and the lenses sit quite close to my eyes. My normal glasses were uncomfortable and i was always looking over them after a few mins riding.

    Using rx7v atm but was same with shoei.

    Try Oakley frames with the straight arms. That way you don't have to hook them over your ears.

    Shark do glasses friendly helmets, they design the upper part of the cheek pad to accept glasses, I also have a Shuberth C3 Pro which is fine with glasses.

    Straight arm glasses are your best bet. Bit of a faff but stay put once in

    I use Shoei XR1100 and it is glasses friendly as they're grooves in the padding for the glasses.

    My shoi xr1000 s good with spectacles.
    one important measurement I always make is the total width of the frame (including the hinges) which will affect the way the arms bend or sit on your sides and the pressure behind the ear
