Default cycling in cloud

Just back from a very short ride to next village, all circa 140 metres
above sea level. (South Cambridgeshire)

I was effectively in cloud the whole while with visibility in the range
200 to perhaps 400 metres with light drizzle.

Does anyone know of anywhere to get windscreen wipers for spectacles?

I've had exactly the same this evening in my bit of mid-Norfolk. Night
cycling along unlit lanes to Dereham & back. Fog, constant drizzle, but
thankfully little in the way of the dreaded headwind :-) I recommend
multitudinous lights front & rear as well as acres of reflectives on self &
bike. Tonight I was mostly wearing four front lights, three rear lights &
half-a-football pitch worth of reflectives. Actually I enjoyed the cycling
but had to repeatedly wipe my eyewear clear of drizzle.

Cheers.
