I have Bells Palsy and my eye doesn't blink and dries out fast in the wind. I wear a Full face helmet.

What have you folks done to protect the eye when you had this issue? What works best?

Due to multiple surgeries my eyes also dry very quickly also. I wear a pair of Wixley glasses with the foam seals under my modular helmet. Helps a lot.

Look at the F4 tall and wide windshield for the RT. Great wind blocker.

Concur with MNF3 -- a modular helmet supports a wider range of sunglasses (mine is Bell SRT with photochromic faceshield and pulldown sunshade). While I don't wear foam seal sunglasses while riding, I often do before and after (two sets, clear and dark). As well as using eye drops before and after. Bertoni sunglasses are high-end, you might want to experiment with cheaper first. Don't waste your money on photochromic sunglasses.

My ophthalmologist wants to try amniotic membranes but I'm not quite ready for that. Best wishes for your condition.
