It was recommended to me that prescription swim goggles would work for what I was trying to fix. When rolling in cold water I find my neoprene hood works well at protecting everything but my eyes. The ice cream headache starts in back of my eyes and spreads inward, and on rolling back up my glasses instantly fog. This despite being treated with anti-fog stuff. Someone at the skills workshop I attended this past fall had prescription swim goggles, and they did work well for the fogging; unknown about preventing eyeball freeze. I'm willing to give it a shot after my next optometrist appointment... In surf conditions (and I'm speculating because I don't get to play in that environment), my guess would be that goggles would be less prone to being yanked off your face because it is harder for water to get behind them.
