You only get one pair of eyes, and when they're gone, they're gone :woohoo:

In my industry we're NOT ALLOWED to wear glasses except for walking across sites to our place of work....GOGGLES ONLY.......cheap ones tend to steam up on the inside in the winter and are pretty useless, quality ones are worth their weight in gold :)

Very sound advice, Dave...if, over the years, it saves the sight of ONE person, it was worth it ;)

it is good to bring this to peoples attention,

we all tend to get a bit blasse about these things, myself included.

I'm guilty myself as have been using "over-specs with sides"

so is anyone able to recommend some easily available good googles for use with specs that don't fog or scratch too easy

;)

ps. good look Dave ......

Thanks Dave, I think I will wear my goggles from now on not just my safety specs, I do plenty of grinding at work.

Crickey Dave, that sounds awful for you!

I've had my eyes lazered and got one cut by corregated cardboard soon after in 1999 which was unpleasant but fixed its self. The body is amazing. Hell look at me after a clot in a lung and my brain last October!

Your eye sounds unpleasant though! I hope it is all ok in the long term for you.

Thanks All B)

Putting 2 different lots of eye drops in four times a day each, and then back on Friday to get the rest of the rust removed...

Will be in the garage today, as it's my day off, but won't be touching the grinder... yet! :S

I'm not sure about compatability with specs, but I use UVEX Ultrasonic goggles and they fit the rest of your criteria.
