Best Safety Glasses For Use Over Eye Glasses?

I use something like these - I think the one I have are actually Uvex paintball goggles and are tinted so good to use outside as well. I find them very comfortable

I doubt that you are going to find any of the goggles that fit over you glasses will be comfortable for long periods. They also do not protect the rest of your face either. Glasses with safety rated lenses are available and will work for shop time where swarf is not flying. Particles can get by them. A tiny bit of metal hit my forehead, fell to my eyelash, then embedded in my eye, and fortunately they figured out my burning eyes before the steel rusted too much. If you are really concerned about flying stuffs, get a full face shield. It goes on like a hat, so it doesn't smash the temples into your skull like the goggles do. It is also pretty darned cheep for consumer grade ones. Amazon sells them for about $15 dollars and replacement shields for a few bucks.
 
Browse some of the offroad motocross forums. I know some of my buddies have goggles they wear over glasses, they're made to stop particles and branches coming in and stay put with bouncing around. I have a few pair of Scott motocross goggles that get retired to shop use . The Scott goggles are my favorite for shop use where I have alot of metal flying or for grinding . The lexan is very strong and cheap replacement lenses are avail ...they also have foam venting all the way around and stop any particles from flying in from above or below . They stay in place really well even when you get all contorted. Might not be exactly what your looking for but thought i'd mention them here . Repurposed, they do make a great pair of shop eye protection , and they take a beating...they're made for it . https://amzn.com/B005TJ3GFI
Good luck !

Ive got safety specticles, mine have an optional eye seal thats available for them , basicly a rubber gasket that sticks onto the frames.

Best thing about my safty spex is the lenses are petrolium and acetone resistant, i think polly carbonate has issues with acetone. Ive had so many pairs of glasses ruined by disolving in the middle where ive accidentaly touched the lens with an oily fingure and its kinda disolved a bit and gone very blurry.

Face sheilds are quite a good idea very simple and protect the rest of your face too.

Edit , opps ive just noticed i kinda repeated myself, sorry :)
 
Not sure but i've been using the Scott goggles a long time ...in the shop, under vehicles, etc . See the pic below, I just wiped the right side with Acetone , and the left side with stronger Toluene . Surprisingly it had no effect , just cleaned them . The motocross stuff is meant to take a beating , be around gasoline , etc ... When my lenses get too scratchy for racing/riding , they get repurposed for shop use .
These are the ones I use , they are Lexan. https://amzn.com/B0012TUILO
