I eventually got tired of the hassle of glasses when out for the day (think of every scenario beyond just riding in a helmet: travelling, amusement parks, etc) swapping between Rx glasses and sunglasses, carrying them around, they get in the way generally.
Laser eye surgery still scares me, that I’ll be the 1% chance that the laser burns a hole through my rods & cones.
Maybe I should try contacts again. Been years since I did as I hated the feeling, and always got dry eyes from them.
I never bothered with laser surgery as optometrist told me "you're early 40s...you should've done this 10 years ago because you'll still need glasses within 10 years. So IMO it's not worth it financially...but your call"

I have anti-fog for my swim goggles that ill apply which usually works well, especially in conjunction with the cracked up visor.
I've tested it a bunch this winter running outside in the cold with glasses. I'd have this halo of fogginess on my glasses where it wasnt applied as well but in the center it would be fine
Been wearing glasses for years, been fogging up for years, been cracking my visor for years, never had any issues for years.
Forget all these contact lenses, surgery options, you're over thinking things. Try a practical solution as noted above or crack your visor.
If you are concerned about the "safety" of a cracked visor while riding a motorcycle in traffic, you're over thinking it.
Smear shaving cream/foam generously on the lens of the glasses (or inside of visor).
Wipe it off with a dry towel/paper towel.

I don't wear glasses for driving, but I have a heated visor and can feel the warmth coming off it in the winter. I wonder if that residual heat would be enough to prevent your glasses from heating up.
My breather box also has a 1/2 inch soft foam strip that goes across the bridge of my nose which prevents my breath from directing up to my eyes.
A CKX Mission might work for you. It has a heated visor but more importantly, it has a silicone nose piece that is attached to the visor that comes down with the shield and covers your nose and mouth. Like a fighter jet breath box. The helmet is redesigned with channel ports at the rear to suck moisture out of the helmet as you move. They've reinvented the wheel so to speak. I have one. I've never had to plug in the heated visor in the winter...it works that good. Adding glasses in theory would work if you can get the nose piece of your glasses over the attached-to-the-visor breath box. If you can do so, you've found yourself a solution. Most snowmobile dealers carry them. Try one on and see if it's doable. They are expensive tho.
At 1:20 you see the breathbox which sticks to your face and seals off your breath. It's attached to the vents that then suck your breath out of the helmet. You could add shield heat if you wanted to to match the temp of your glasses. This is a snowmobile helmet tho, and there are no top vents...so it might be hot in the summer with your only ventilation being the front, rear and cracking the visor:
I wear glasses. I have an HJC RPHA 11 Pro helmet with Pinlock insert... and I find the breath deflector is not really directing my exhaled air to the bottom part of the helmet... so whenever the weather gets a little cold.. not only does my glasses fog up.. my visor fog up from the inside as well...
anyone has some suggestion as to how I can manage this?
The Givi AirFlow wind screen on my Guzzi is high enough that I always ride with the visor at least partially up regardless of air temp.
I am still looking over the windshield in normal riding position.
When I am riding twisty back roads with cracks and tree shadows I always flip the visor all the way up to eliminate the distorion of looking thru plastic.
I wear a Schuberth 3C Pro modular.
There is no more noise with the visor up than in full closed position.
Visor protects my eyes from large debris. If I open it below my nose, I'm still protected. If you're traveling behind a pig truck heading to the abatoir, or in a dust storm, keep the visor closed.
