prescription safety glasses | Construction and DIY projects | Forums

I had a set of wraparound prescription glasses because the overglasses always fogged. With that said, I tripped a lot. I would recommend against the curved lenses like these:

Instead, if you're accustomed to wearing glasses, you can either get the attachable shields or these (some exist with better coverage). These are what the machinists used at my college:

I never succeeded in finding over glasses that were comfortable. My long term solution (what I do currently) is just put in my contacts and use my Oakley M 2.0s because they give me the best coverage and they're ballistic rated (probably overkill but you only get two eyes).

I had a set of these overglasses that worked fine when looking up but the fit was not great and they always took my regular glasses with them when they fell off:

I used to get good sunglass frames and then have them put in prescription safety lenses. Even had the transition style ones a few times. They were great running 911 and definitely got tested buy drunks and vehicle extrications. Not cheap. And you look like Bob Bernquist.

That's how I ended up with them as well. I was probably just being a wimp and never really tried them long enough to adjust. My prescription is only -1.75 in both so it's nothing to complain about.
