I have officially reached the age of long-arm-syndrome.  I cannot see clearly up close. I have progressive lenses in my glasses, but I find myself struggling to find the sweet spot so I can actually make out details.  Often I can see better with no glasses at all and use the long-arm technique.

In the shop, my regular glasses are not safety glass and do not have side shields.  Most safety glasses do not fit over my prescription glasses.  Even the ones that are supposed to fit over, don't really fit.

I have tried numerous styles and shapes with little success.  Usually, I leave my prescription glasses where they're safe, and just use the safety glasses (my distance vision is really not too bad), but it seems I am always struggling to make out the fine details.  Especially when I'm under the vehicle - I can't simply back away from whatever I'm looking at to get it in focus (need to raise the car!).  When I do find a pair of glasses that seem to provide good protection, they fog up or my sweat drips into the lense.

In my welding helmet, I have a cheater lense and it works, but I can't see a thing when I lift my head even with the auto-darkening.

I saw these, and I think they're worth a try.  I will pick some up the next time I'm near a store.

Years ago I had prescription safety glasses, but they're very expensive, and I do a lot of welding, grinding etc.  Safety glasses are all plastic and it seems they don't last long enough to make their big $$$ cost worthwhile.  I've also tried the full face shields and I use them for some specific tasks, but often they're too bulky.

Anybody come up with something that actually works?
