Can anybody recommend cycling glasses that helps keep dust out of your eyes?

I have a friend whose eyes are very sensitive to dust, and she easily gets infections in her eyes when riding in dusty conditions.

I will have you know sir that those are 21'st Century Bentley driving goggles an cap !

The cap is optional, but i fear those dust repelling gogs will look a bit silly with a peaked MTB helmet.

Switch to road. Alternatively, only ride when it rains, Her only option really is goggles but I fear she may look like a bit of a 'tard wearing those...
Don't surrender your life to the momentum of mediocrity. Keep following your dreams and one day you will tick them off.

Listen Roadie. Whilst those may LOOK sweet, take a closer gander at those 'venty' things on the side. That 'foamy' stuff does not keep dust out.

The OP said "VERY sensitive".....

****nice try though.

The kind that wraps around the face will offer best protection but any open area will allow dust in.
