817691 Over Economical Safety Glasses, Clear

I bought these to wear while riding my bike at night in the city, to avoid getting dirt in my eyes and/or scratching my prescription glasses if and when I wear them as well. I also wanted to use them while chopping onions, to reduce the tears and eye irritation. I find they work great for both purposes. My prescription glasses are oval and not too large, so they fit over them just fine, although there is a slight "snug" feeling to them - not enough to be uncomfortable, but just an awareness. I do find, however, that if I ride my bike for 3 to 4 hours, which I do on occasion, that my ears are a little sore by the time I get home. That would likely be the case with any glasses, especially since I also wear headphones on top of them, which probably increases the snugness, so I don't fault the safety glasses for that. However, my personal experience lends credibility to what others have said about them being too tight if you have a large head or large glasses. I think my head is rather average (not too large or small), and my glasses are not too large, and while they are comfortable enough for me, I can easily see if my glasses and/or head were even slightly larger, they would probably be too tight and uncomfortable, so be forewarned about that. I haven't noticed any scratches on them yet, but being as they are cheap plastic, I am guessing that before the summer is out, depending on how often I use them while riding my bike at night in the dirty city, I expect to see some scratches. But at this price point, I consider them practically disposable, so I'm not too worried about that. I also love that they help reduce the irritation when I am chopping onions. They are not quite as effective as actual goggles, which I have also worn with 100% success, but I find "real" goggles (the suction-type you use for swimming) to be very uncomfortable after a while, so this is a nice compromise. I just have to remember to put them on before I start to actually handle the onions, and then I'm fine. If I am chopping a huge pile of onions for biggie cooking, I will also use a surgical mask and clear plastic gloves, because sometimes just breathing in the vapors adds to the irritation, so using all that stuff together helps. I LOVE the taste of onions in my food, but geez, they are torturous during the prep phase! I plan to also use them to do some very minor woodworking projects later in the summer. I am quite the novice with that kind of stuff, so it will not be anything major - just using my drill to drill some holes in the wood, but enough to kick up a bit of dust. I would imagine they will be fine for that, but I'm not sure I would expect something this cheap to offer any high-quality protection if I were to do any serious woodworking, such as sawing large pieces of wood or doing any sanding in a closed area. I think I would opt for something of higher quality (and a high-quality mask as well) for that type of project. For the price, though, I am way happy with my purchase! YMMV :)

I bought these primarily for my 11 year old for rock hounding. But I also use them. I would call my head and my kid's head very average. Mine is 22.5" and his is 21". The glasses fit properly and comfortably for myself and for him. Excellent eye coverage too. Great value. I wear contacts, so I intent to wear these only with my contacts. But for testing, I tried them on with my glasses. I have very small lenses and so these glasses barely fit over my glasses. The the front lens would touch. In general I wouldn't expect these to work with your prescription glasses for most people. Especially if you don't want the lenses rubbing. The MSA glasses that I got, clearly state Z87+ on both sides of the glasses, and in the upper corner of the front of the glasses. This is the official ANSI marking. Z87+ , if you look it up on the National Safety's blog, means that is covers the Z87.1 standard. Which is higher than the standard Z87 marking. This marking means it passes the high mass 500g pointed impact test and a high speed steel ball test of 102 mph at 150' for glasses. Simply put, this Z87+ glasses are properly marked and are high quality safety standards. Pros: - very clear - wide and complete coverage for glasses without moving to goggle style. - clearly marked Z87+ in 3 locations - Nice comfortable fit that does not fall off my adult head 22.5" and my 11 yr old's 21" head. - value pricing - lots of breathing room without much nose bridge stress for general purpose glasses. - nice generic style and all transparent. Cons: - They are glasses so I don't expect them to be comfortable for a long period of time. more of a Neutral comment.

As a very near-sighted individual who also suffers from what optometrists refer to as shadowing (where my uncorrected vision repeats what I'm looking at many times like a kaleidoscope), I need to wear my glasses for absolutely everything or else I cannot make out what I'm doing, and in some cases this would be extremely dangerous. One such dangerous case is when I tend to my 2 acres of lawn. My job is to do the trimming, and anybody who has operated a weed eater knows where 100% of the grass, pebbles, sticks, and everything else on the ground goes -- right back at the user. This is especially problematic with a large walk-behind brush trimmer we use when the overgrowth gets out of control, which is basically an industrial weed eater which is even worse at peppering me with literally everything in its path. I mention these two facts because my glasses cost as much as my first couple of cars and I'm unwilling to sacrifice them to the weed eater god. My last pair received quite a bit of abuse from these lawn tools and I was intent on protecting this pair from the same fate, so I needed to keep my glasses on to see and keep them from getting destroyed at the same time. As luck would have it, today was lawn day and I got to take my new safety glasses for a spin. To begin with, they fit nice but not great. My glasses are the rectangular kind that are as wide as my face, and these safety goggles fit them entirely inside without any problems. The lens of the safety glasses has a slight curvature to it which makes them rest vary far down my nose though, so even as a glasses wearer for the last 18 years I kind of went through that pressure-on-the-nose acclimation period again. The bows fit nicely and snugly around my glasses and behind ears with no weight or pain. The bottom and sides of the safety glasses fit snugly against my cheeks and temples which is the most important area to be covered in my situation. There are large gaps at the top though, where my finger can fit in between the safety glasses and my face. This may be due to the curvature of the lens making the safety glasses basically hook into the top corners of my prescription glasses, so they're likely tilting out sightly due to the shape of my prescription glasses. I also found out very quickly when I put them on indoors that they are very, very glarey. This is not so much an issue outdoors but anyone wearing them inside is probably going to have a lot of trouble. Minor complaints about fit aside, they worked very well. They kept my eyes and my prescription lenses safe all afternoon, and a quick wash under the tap with a sheet of paper towel and it's good as new again. I didn't have any scratching problems as many people seem to be bringing up against these, despite more than a few ballistic sticks deflecting off the lenses. In all, I'm happy. Cheap, fast to ship, quick to arrive, and I don't have to risk scratching/breaking my prescription lenses and frames. The only really worrying bit about the whole thing is an explicit statement in the instructions that came with the safety glasses: "DO NOT wear over personal eyewear." This sounds like it's at odds with features specifically touted in its favor. Since I've purchased these though (May 28) these glasses have become ~$3 as an add-on item whereas mine were $5 free shipping.

My head is on the larger side. My glasses are 128mm wide (55mm 18mm bridge). I was worried they wouldn't fit me but for such a small price it was worth giving them a try. They fit great, are very comfortable and provide good protection. These days glasses are very expensive and the coatings can be damaged with some chemicals and cleaners. It's a small amount of money to help protect the investment you made in your eyewear. These aren't going to help you win any fashion awards but they don't look that bad. The safety glasses are all clear a with big lenses so they're not very noticeable. If I haven't put on my contacts sO I can wear my cooler safety glasses I'll throw these on when working in the yard and using power tools. From a distance it's hard to notice them. They're much better looking than lab goggles. Because they're so cheap and work so well I'm probably going to pick up a few more sets so that I have one in every tool box and by my outdoor power tools so I always have a pair handy when I need them without having to go looking for them.

I completely forgot that this was sitting in my add-on cart as I don't often make large purchases. I do wish I could buy it regularly, but I finally got a pair and love them. I struggle a bit with safety glasses, I guess I have really sweaty eyeballs because most fog up badly, even with the little vent holes (in those rubbery science class ones). I got a pair that are more like glasses before, and they didn't fog but also didn't give much side coverage. I've been using this pair daily at the techshop and it's easily my favorite pair to date. They aren't too floppy and made of a nice light plastic that fits my big head just right. The earpieces could be a bit more comfortable but it's very very minor. The biggest thing is that they breath really nicely, and I've yet to fog them up, so I don't need to worry about fogging in the middle of using the drill press or anything. They breath well, fit decently and are a fantastic price. Nothing more I could ask of them for $2.75 really.

I bought my first pair 6 years ago. Routine yard work cutting grass, blower, hedge ciipper work. Pressure washing. Served me well. Limits of the product - recently I power washed a stone house and the pressure washer "bounce" included a lot of sand coming off the wall. The glasses protected my eyes very well. However, as I worked I had to frequently wipe them with a cloth to clear my vision. Well, that procedure scratched the surface of the glasses. I probably should have simply hosed them off instead. So I bought 2 pair so I have a back up if I scratch them again. My eyes are worth a lot more to me than a couple of bucks for eye protection. These are excellent price performers.

Eh. It works, but distorts vision a little too much for comfort, and got dirty and scratched up relatively quickly for being used merely once a week. The good thing is that if you have prescription glasses, there's enough room for them to sit relatively comfortably.

I always use eyeglasses even when I'm doing gardening in my home. Orange and apple trees branches can be unforgiving, so I finally gave this pair of safety glasses a chance after looking at some reviews. The other glasses I looked at didn't cover eyeglasses as well. However, if glasses isn't an issue, you may want to consider these : Dewalt DPG54-1C Protector Clear High Performance Lightweight Protective Safety Glasses with Wraparound Frame It fits very comfortable on my nose, ears, and head. It fully covers me eyes and protects me very well. No complaints there. Solid build and great pricing. Buy with confidence!

I wear glasses and I could not find any safety glasses that fit over prescription glasses at any local Home Depots. So I have to thank Amazon for stocking this product. These safety glasses fit comfortably over prescription glasses and has great clarity. For the price, it's a no brainer as well. I will recommend this product to all my fellow coworkers who wear prescription glasses. My coworker who does not wear prescription glasses also mentioned it's much more comfortable and more protective than the his own "normal" safety glasses, as there is a lip at the top of the glasses that prevent small falling debris from getting into the eyes.

I wore these to my job to protect my eyes from splatter as I found the ones supplied by my work to be inadequate. These get the job done! They are a little bit uncomfortable to wear for the full 9hr shift but....gotta say pretty worth it to not be jumping from things flying into my eyes all day :-) I am an industrial butcher. I have worn these for two days and have had half a dozen coworkers ask where I got them. Recommend!!!!!

These are large so be warned. I do like them though, and they stayed on and were comfortable to wear during 3 hours of weed whacking in hot conditions. Got hit a few times by debris and no marks or issues. They are very clear and easy to see through - didn't fog up either which was a nice surprise as I was sweating heavily. Recommended. I will buy more to keep them in handy locations ...

I bought these to use as protection when I'm making my soap projects and need eye protection from the lye in my soap batter. I wear glasses and previous safety glases have not allowed enoug space to wear my prescription glasses under the safety glasses. This are perfect for that, without feeling that they are bulky. Will buy more when I need too.

Pros: Fit well over prescription glasses, even relatively large frames Nice and optically clear at first, stay that way if you maintain them carefully. Very light and comfy, forget you're wearing them. Cons: Same pair is actually cheaper from a big box brick and mortar hardware store. Won't stand up to grinding jobs or absentminded wiping on your t-shirt, you'll have to rinse them and use a clean cloth to clean them Fogs quickly with improper care, in 6 months tops even with good care.
