That's a good idea. I'm due to update my prescription in the spring, after that I'll make a concerted effort.

Oakley offers prescription lenses for their glasses, perhaps this extends to their safety glasses.

Ironically, this is a piece of equipment that is often overlooked and usually outgunned when discussing power tools but my safety glasses have become indispensable. My problem is, finding ones that stay on my head when I'm looking down and that do not need a strap. The ergonomics on most glasses has greatly improved from the "60's chemistry set glasses" so now its a matter of finding one's with good hinge tension over the long run. My dewalt glasses start the slide down my nose when bending my head, especially when trying to sight the PC11 in dark conditions. I picked up a pair of Miller safety glasses for wearing under my helmet when welding and so far they're staying put but its usually a few months before the hinges weaken. Can anyone recommend a strapless, safety glass that has improved hinge technology? Speaking as someone who grew up taking wood from the tree to the mill to the trestle ponies, I can vouch 100% for Venture II safety glasses. They're safety rated, they're curved to reduce fogging, they're adjustable, they're inexpensive...and, most importantly, they stay on my big melon when I'm working on a tree.
It seems that you and I would probably agree on this, Erik: There's nothing worse than sliding safety glasses when one is concentrating on something that could either maim or kill you.
