Glasses and Helmets

I've just started wearing full time glasses with progressive lenses. I tried my helmet on yesterday and the glasses just don't work with this helmet.

I tried tilting the glasses and could make them work somewhat but they are not very secure and shifting glasses is the last thing I need on the track.

Anyone have a good solution?

Get an extra pair of rimless glasses. They are lower profile in all ways and lighter. Alternative is prescription oakley (or similar style) sunglasses. These hug the face, nose bridge, and contour very sleek across the face while maintaining maximum FOV. I'll race with contacts in but i prefer those sunglasses over the tinted helmet visor.

Ever try contacts?
