Use goggles and start riding black rock instead of Sandy.

You know, I used to think that goggles were just too "extreme" for
riding/racing. After many seasons of putting up with dusty summer races
(short track, Blind Date, etc.) I got sick and tired of suffering the side
effects of dust and dirt in my eyes and wore a pair of Oakley MX O goggles
in a fabulously stylish red color that matched my kit.

It was a revelation! No matter how thick the dust I could see! My eyes
didn't itch and burn for days afterward! The race (or ride) was actually
fun again! (Respiration in those conditions is another matter...)

So don't dismiss the goggles out of hand. ;)

I actually did try this route too. And while the safety glasses did protect
my eyes, they had a weird lens distortion at the edges. I had super
cheap-a$$ Home Depot style though. If it doesn't bother you, you can't
possibly go wrong trying it. It's only a couple of bucks out of your pocket.

I think Tifosi makes a good set of glasses for sporty-dudes and gals. They
are cheaper than the big guys (especially Oakley, which is insanely
overpriced). The only reason I own a pair of Oakleys is because nobody else
could make an 8-base lens for my completely useless astigmatic eyes AND
still fit my aforementioned giant Irish neck-potato. And I spent weeks
trying to find anybody who could. But insurance paid for the vast majority
of them, so....yay.

Go try on like a million frames. Maybe bring a blow dryer in with you so you
can blow some air at your face with each pair on. Please take video.

You guys are killing me, safety glasses? The only sensible solution so far were those cool old neon Oakleys. I think one needs to ask what would Mario Cipollini do in this situation. Answer here:

The best thing about going this route is that you won't have the "moment" where you realize that you've just sat on/stepped on/lost your high zoot unobtainium cycling glasses.

I second the safety glasses angle.  They can be picked up online with various lens shading and will do a great job blocking wind and debris.  Uvex is a good start.

Don't forget just plain old safety glasses.  They provide great protection obviously, and are inexpensive.  You can get them in various colors or clear.  I wore a clear pair at night when I rode Furnace Creek 508 to protect from becoming red from wind as well as protection from blowing sand. Good coverage high and low, and side shields too!  Of course, they may not look as cool as $150 Johnny Velo Speedsters, but it doesn't sting so much if you lose them or sit on them either.

Try wearing a cycling cap under your helmet. When you're going downhill, you
can flip the bill down and shield your eyes a bit. It can work to deflect
the wind downward. Plus you'll look cooler and bees won't sting your skull.
And it shields from sun, and rain. It's just awesome altogether really.
Sure, you'll gross yourself out after a hard day of riding with the amount
of salt that is caked on it, but that's still cool.

Also, I've found that Spy glasses are the best for me. I've got pairs of
Tifosi (practically disposable for cross), Oakleys(prescription), Zeals
(photochromic), Smiths and Spy. Spy is my favorite. I personally like the
Quanta. But I have a gigantic Irish head. I mean it's huge. So I need a very
large frame and still, it looks like I'm a German club dancer from the 80s.
It's like I'm wearing tanning salon glasses no matter what I put on my head.

There are various "wrap" numbers in glasses. 7 or 8-base are the most
"wrappy". Look for really "wrappy" ones. And then decide if you want to fit
them inside your eye sockets so that wind does not get in. Or decide if you
want to get the really large and far away from your eyelashes so wind is
deflected away.

I have the same problem as you, but it's my contacts that get dry and then
rotated. I am then blind... And still have a giant head. And I have really
long princess lashes that cause problems too.

Good luck.

Don't forget just plain old safety glasses.  They provide great protection obviously, and are inexpensive.  You can get them in various colors or clear.  I wore a clear pair at night when I rode Furnace Creek 508 to protect from becoming red from wind as well as protection from blowing sand. Good coverage high and low, and side shields too!  Of course, they may not look as cool as $150 Johnny Velo Speedsters, but it doesn't sting so much if you lose them or sit on them either.

Seeing how OBRA people have an opinion on everything...

Ever since I had my Lasik surgery when I go downhill fast my eyes water. I am not a huge fan of watery eyes when riding Sandy at the edge of my ability. I want at much visual acuity as possible. Anyone have a similar problem they rectified with a stellar set of glasses. I have some Rudy Project (cannot remember the model) that don't really do the job.

Also an added benefit and this probably has more to do with the shape of your face but some glasses that come down lower to your cheek to keep the mud from making it underneath the lens and into your eye. At least once every trip down something flicks into my eye.

And no goggle suggestions please. I am not going to that extreme.

Thanks!
