If you wear contacts and need something that will keep all wind out of your eyes these puppies are extremely comfortable and windproof at any speed. No tears or burning eyes, despite looking a little - well let's just say not everybody can pull this off!

I wear Oakley sunglasses. I need to get my prescription added to them, but haven't gotten around to it. The nice thing is the lenses can always be updated.

I wear my regular prescription glasses at night.

I wear a combination of what id-man and hayes wear; Oakley Split Jackets with Wind Gasket and Strap. You can easily swap lenses to any tint or prescription and they are customizable in any color combo you can imagine. I got the Ducati editions pictured below used for 1/2 retail in mint condition since it was a great deal, Ducati colors match my Vaquero and that edition comes with Wind Gasket, Clear and Tinted Lenses, Strap and Case which holds an extra set of lenses (can swap in clear for night riding after a day of using the tinted lenses). If you want to build your own you can customize every piece down to the hing bolts.
Oakley's are expensive but I've been wearing them since the late 80's and of all the pairs I bought if I haven't sold them, I still have them...you will not break them and their customer service is great for ordering parts that wear out like ear socks or nose cushions.

Motorcycle specific vented glasses with foam pad and a half helmet. The helmet has a drop-down visor that comes in handy early morning and evening riding if facing the sun.

Also these with prescription when necessary. I prefer the rust lens for cloudy days.
