I find it helps a lot to have non-absorbent pads in your helmet (if you wear
one), some pads soak up sweat and dump it into your eyes when you move your
head or press your helmet. I find that the Pearl Izumi thin headbands keep up
with my sweat and fit under my helmet.

Sweatbands work for me. Get a thin one that fits under your helmet.
