Get a pair of Croakies brand straps to hold your glasses on your head securely. Any sunglass store or Monahan Marine in Weymouth has them. (Not sure of your location)

Getting contacts this year just for fishing... Foggy night's I'm blind in 20 minutes or so. Same thing if there is spray. Glasses turn white

Croakies are great. Another hint is to use Rain-X on those lenses. Salt spray will bead up and drip down, instead of drying and leaving spots of salt residue.
But Frank,...do NOT use Rain-X on your contacts.

Since I can't wear contacts, I have to use glasses and it is a curse while fishing the surf. That fine mist will kill you everytime. I've never used rain X on the glasses in fear of damaging the anti-glare or whatever coatings but I have used this purple formula that I still see for sale at fishing shows. It tends to keep better visibility over a short time, like a couple of hours.
