I used to have very thick glasses and found normal safety glasses to be less than satisfactory.  One solution I found that worked for me is Stealth goggles (https://www.amazon.com/Uvex-Stealth-Dura-Streme-Anti-Fog-Anti-Scratch/dp/B002BY3JZG/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1483990004&sr=8-2&keywords=uvex+stealth+goggle ).  They fit over prescription eyeware but are lighter than most other goggles I had worn.  They wrap around nicely so there is little or no loss of peripheral sensation and they have a soft seal so they didn’t feel like they were cutting in like some goggles do.

Hi All:

 

A researcher has very thick prescription eyewear and has been told that the prescription can’t be produced in safety eyewear.  Over spectacles eyewear make him nauseous.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks!
