	Not sure this is the right place on this forum, but ! As I'm getting a little older i need glasses. When grinding etc, i want some good safety glasses, a pair for home, and a pair for work. I'm a welder/fabricator/fitter/something/something. I also have a classic mini i will be restoring very soon. So i have seen these on ebay. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bolle-B808-Prescription-Safety-Spectacles-Glasses-Clear-Lens-2-5-or-10-Pairs/152430383787?hash=item237d8f12ab:m:mwmbKBOAYBkAL76hZyjFEbA They look ideal, but has anyone used these? I have a recent prescription for lenses from tescos, but they want to get the whole work force involved before i can get a set out of them. i cant see anyone that will do the lenses with out taking me in for eye tests etc. Any input very welcome please! don't want to wear normal glasses to work on the car as i feel its a compromise on eye safety and ive been to hospital a few times now with metal in my eye... thankyou

	No experience with those but Bolle sunglasses are one of the very few "designer" items I don't mind paying good money for (I've got 2 pair - both super comfortable, spring-loaded legs, good quality) Maybe ask tesco if they will fit their lenses if you provide new (Bolle) frames, or ask on one of the welding forums ? I know Bolle do non-perscription safety glasses (grinding lenses etc), they looked comfortable but I missed the chance to get a pair.

	Having been poked about by the hospital after getting grinding bit's in my eyes I don't think I would relay on just glasses as eye protection alone but can you wear goggle over glasses ? I went and bought a face shield as well.

	Face shield is on my list too, it took two visits to different doctors today to get the steel out of my eye..
	Whether you believe you can, or you cannot, you're probably right.

	I prefer a face mask. Easier as a glasses wearer, and less possibility of a stray spark / piece of shrapnel making it’s way around to your eyes.

	I now always use a flip down face mask. Much easier, especially if you wear glasses. It also protects your whole face rather than just your eyes.

	don't want to be using a face mask all day in the garage, wearing safety glasses is fine for grinding etc, that is what i do at work every day. Its where to get the lenses made.. tescos, could go back, but id need another eye test, and also, they only wanted to sign our company up for everyones glasses. I don't see why. Just need help with the lenses if anyone can?

	'Reglaze my glasses' or simlar online company will fit lenses to any frame if you send your prescription.
