Do you normally wear glasses to correct your vision?  If not, that may 
explain you difficulty in finding a pair that are comfortable.  Those of us 
that 
have worn glasses for years probably find it easier to wear safety glasses.

The problem I find is with the heavier, probably more protective, pairs, they 
tend to fog up or I sweat more where they cover my eyes and face.  I think 
that's why the shooting glasses worked better for me.

Before I had the lazix and wore glasses at all times in order to see, I 
wanted to try the little triangular side panels that you can add to 
perscription 
glasses to prevent flying object from coming in from the side under your 
lenses. 
 Problem was that back then safety glasses were even more of a hassle.  Try 
wearing two pair at once and you'll see, so I often just let my regular glasses 
suffice.  I wore contacts during the week and my glasses during the weekend 
when I was working in the shop "for safety".

Now, after the lasix surgery, I am much more aware of my eyes and the 
potential for damage.  Maybe I didn't feel that I had much too lose before I 
was soo 
nearsighted, but now, I do grab the safety glasses most of the time, and when 
I forget, I stop what I am doing as soon as I notice and go look for them.
