Default Eye Protection

I'm wondering what you guys and gals do for eye protection. I have a Vega helmet that has a clear plastic face shield that will swap off with a small bill visor, for that all important cruiser look. On my first ride home from the dealer, I found that the loose lenses in my el-cheapo metal frame glasses vibrated around very badly. I picked up some amber lens Eye-Rider glasses from a bike dealer and these are much better, but still buffet some in the wind. I have a short windshield and I'm wondering if it may be causing turbulence right at my face. I just ordered a pair of Wiley-X SG-1 goggles / glasses and I guess these should withstand just about anything and when strapped on they shouldn't bobble around at all. I don't like the clear plastic face shield on my helmet unless the temperature is low when I ride to work in the morning.

So, what does everybody else do to protect their eyes?
