I'm fortunate enough to be able to wear a cab now.

But these goggles look similar enough to the sets we were issued back in the first gulf war era, that they should work. I know the ones we had did.

I've got the Dewalts and they work okay but I haven't used them in a while.

Not sure how well these will keep stuff out but I found some full lens reader safety glasses on eBay I am in love with. I have bought 4 pairs of the smoke and just bought a pair of clear. These things are crystal clear and they have them in +2.5 which is my distance prescription. The glasses are called Pyramex Emerge Plus and they are sold by Amp Eyewear. They sell them in + 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, and 3.0. Not sure they have the stronger ones in the smoke.

Not sure if or how well they would fit over prescription glasses but they do list the Dewalt Converter Smoke padded safety glasses.

Some hardware stores sell prescription safety glasses with foam inserts. The inserts work fantastic to keep dust and debris out.

My eye care insurance kicks in for prescription safety glasses. So I have a couple pair of wiley x glasses with ballistic lenses, the foam inserts, bifocals, as well as transition lenses. I get a new set every couple years. I keep the older pair at the house for use when in mowing with the zero turn.

Prescription is a little off on the older set, but doable for mowing.

I wish I would have protected my eyes better throughout my life. Red-hot grinding grit and steel, sun, sand and all other types of debris. Same goes for hearing protection. Wish I had done better. Now, eyesight is blurry and my ears ring. Both preventable.

The hard thing is keeping goggles or safety glasses from getting all scratched up...looking through a bunch of scratches will give you a headache...so as important as wearing eye protecting is protecting the goggles/glasses when they are not being used...getting tossed on a work bench etc...
Also use a second (beater) pair when grinding...they will get speckled...

When doing grinding where sparks can come at you, throw on a face shield over the glasses. Much better at keeping crap off your face and eyes, and the shield is meant to be replaced when it gets too munged up
