I'm considering getting some prescription safety glasses and was wondering if you knew anyone who had them and if they liked them. The over-the-glasses thing is cumbersome and annoying. If you know someone who has them, where did they get them? I just hear that the dreaded Walmart makes them, but I know nothing of the quality.

Husband has had to wear safety glasses his whole life due to his job. Most vision places sell them. What he does is ask for safety glass when determining what extras he gets with his glasses. You ask for it along with progressive lens, sun darkening, etc. They are called polycarbonite. You can get them with all these features as well. Many, many people have to have safety glasses due to their jobs.

I wear polycarbonate lenses for everyday. They are lighter than glass and don't scratch like plastic. Our optometrist only sells polycarbonate for kids, as they are prone to more breaking. Luckily, I have a small face and wear kid glasses, so I get the price break they offer (because they won't sell glass lenses to kids.)
If you want safety lenses, they are perfect. But if you require goggles that enclose the eyes, you need to order those separately.
