Bell M2's have a large opening, and are fairly eyeglass friendly.

bell m2 has got to be the best entry level full face helmet. not as comfortable as my arai motorcycle helmet, but soon forgetten when youre on the track.

You can't beat the OMP Formula by AGV. Available in wide and narrow ports. I have one of each and glasses are no problem. These are made of carbon kevlar and are fairly light(comfortable). When Neal Sapp tried mine on he ordered one for the next race.
I think they retail for somewhere in the $500 range. maybe less.

simpson lx plus.

the bells and simpsons fit very differently. if you don't like the bell (it didn't fit me at all) try the simpson and it will probably feel a lot better

its not a good idea to buy a new helmet mail order. go somewhere you can try them on. I'd only use mailorder to replace a helmet with the exact same model
