Police Instructor Class – August 3-7/10-14/ 17-24 – Troy, MIIf you are shortsighted or nearsighted (the medical term is myopia) you likely wear glasses. I am guessing your question has to do with wearing a helmet and glasses. I have had glasses since the second grade. I can't see well enough to drive without them. There are several ways this affects my helmet wearing. The easiest way to deal with glasses is to wear a 3/4 or open face helmet. They are easy to put on and take off. The problem is that regular glasses do not keep the wind and dust out, and if you go even a little faster than 30mph/50kmh you will have a hard time seeing where you are going.  You need either special goggles that have correct prescription lenses built in (these can be expensive) or larger goggles that fit over your glasses. I use a pair of military goggles I picked up at a surplus sale. It can be hard to find goggles that fit over glasses well and fit in the face opening of the helmet at the same time. 

I only use this helmet for short low-speed trips, as I am worried about hitting something face-first in an open helmet.  Not having face protection is a major drawback. The other way to do it is simply to use a regular full-face helmet. It is not possible to put it on or take it off with glasses in place, so you either wear contact lenses or, as I do, develop a routine for this.  I put helmet on top of my head, takeoff glasses, hold them in my teeth, slide helmet down, and in the same motion grab glasses and put them on trough the face opening of the helmet. Taking off is the reverse - take off glasses, pull off helmet, put glasses back on. The compromise between the two is a modular, or a flip-up helmet, sometimes also called "police helmet".  These helmets have a chin bar that can be raised. They are as easy to put on/take off as a 3/4 helmet, but offer the protection of a full-face helmet. I had one, and found it very comfortable. I no longer have it because I crashed my bike and have not replaced it yet, so I am wearing my spare full-face.

I was very glad to have it as my head was bouncing on the pavement. Aside from these considerations, helmet fitment for someone with glasses is the same as for anyone else - measure your head, find appropriate size per helmet manufacturer, make sure it fits snug, but not too tight. You should be able to shake your head without the helmet moving at all. Keep in mind that different makers have a slightly different idea of what a human head is shaped like. Try on as many helmets as you can till you find one that fits well. Expensive does not always mean better fitting for you specifically. However, some of the fancier brands can have different size inserts to make fitting easier.I’ve also not seen any information anywhere on any possible safety implications posed by glasses in the event that you actually put a helmet to the use it was designed for, and never seen any discussion on it. If anyone is aware of any work on that, please comment. I would assume that it is not significant compared with the general work of reducing the speed that your brain bashes the inside of your skull, but it could conceivably concentrate pressure on certain points of your skull.

I think it would probably be mentioned more if it made any significant difference, though.So, general riding comfort and convenience: as far as the helmet goes, I’ve not found (a) any helmet that could not accommodate my glasses or (b) any helmet - full face, flip front or open face - that I can put on and take off without taking my glasses off. I guess there could be problems with some permutations of very large glasses and helmets with secondary internal sunvisors, but I’ve not come across them yet.Therefore, you pretty much don’t have to worry about it as a factor in choosing a helmet. What is more of an issue for me is the design of the glasses frame, particularly the arms, which will (a) be pressed into the side of your head a bit and (b) have to be repeatedly fiddled into place with the helmet already on. On that basis, I’m happiest with a pair with a fairly straight plastic arm design.Secondary issues: - I have had occasional problems with glasses vibrating at high speed (inside a full face helmet, clearly affected by the road surface), causing blurred vision.
