I forgot to add to my original post. Does anybody wear, or has anybody tried wearing, low-price plastic googles sold at home centers and hardware stores? And, do they work ok?

In case it is helpful, you can get your eyeglass prescription made for the front faceplate of some goggles.

This potentially avoids scratching up / bending your normal glasses.

I've had good luck with ski/motorcycle goggles. you can get different tints or clear, and they have good, often filtered, vents to help with fogging. they can be had at swap meets and thrift stores for fractions of new cost.

Yes, these work pretty good over glasses. I’ve used them many times, most times I don’t wear goggles because, glasses. This year I’m going to wear my fancy schmancy contacts, I can’t wait…

Oh the things I will see :coffee:
Oh my god, it's HUGE!

Have you tried Goggling "Googles".

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Ski/snowboard goggles with nice foam padding may work well (especially if you have a tinted pair). I usually have several pairs because I lose stuff and tinted during the day & clear at night is kind of nice to have.

BTW - I have zero fashion sense.
