Default Prescription Glasses

I just switched back to using a full-face helmet and I'm noticing that my prescription glasses just do not fit inside well and are rather uncomfortable. When I wear sunglasses, it's even worse. My regular prescription glasses are Oakleys so they really aren't that large and my prescription sunglasses are ray bans and they are a bit on the larger side so that makes sense they wouldn't fit me well inside the helmet, I suppose.

I'm wondering what would be my best option here? Should I look at frameless glasses? Are there websites that specialize in prescription glasses for full-face helmet wearers? Thanks!

Bring your helmet with you to try on frames. Buy a cheap pair that fits just for use in your helmet. I would think frameless would be too fragile to stand up to helmet and wind abuse.

My frames have thin metal sides with a metal frame. They fit great in my helmet and hold up fine.

Are contacts an option? My "hipster" (I got this years ago before hipster was a thing) fit pretty well in my helmet. But normally I wear contacts when riding.
