I've worn Rigid Gas Permeable (RGP) lenses for about 34 years. These gave me truly phenomenal distance vision, correcting to 20-15 for many years. Recently though, it's been more and more difficult to wear them. I've had to have reading glasses for most of that time. These can just be simple magnifiers you can pick up at Wal Mart. Over the years, the strength of these kept going up and it became increasingly difficult to read. I finally would do my reading in the mornings, prior to putting the contacts in. That wasn't always convenient, either. I live in a relatively dry climate, which is difficult for contact wearers. You might ask about "multi-focus" contacts. I had them years ago until the corrections between near and far grew too far apart. If your helmet doesn't have eye protection you will still need to wear sun glasses to protect the contacts. Eye protection is a law in Colorado for bikers. No helmet is okay, but protect those eyes. Makes sense. You might want to consider Lasik...
