Evening...
I've got some bolle tracker safety glasses but find that the insert fogs up. So does anyone have any suggestions for single vision safety specs without insert?
Cheers

I have a pair of Norvile so220 from safety specs.co.uk, They will send samples out for you to try and recommended these based on my very high prescription +10.

I use over specs but recently also tried a set of daily disposal contacts. Vision is OK with them but only use if I expect to spend all day with safety specs on and not in front of a computer. Bit of a pain in the arse.

I tried contacts but I don't produce enough tears to cope with them all day

Also I have seen people supplementing normal glasses with these.

Not sure if they cover whatever safety standard though...

Are you employed? A lot of employers will contribute toward eye tests/glasses. Normally about £50.

I need lenses that are impact rated, and am almost self employed

Just get yourself off to your local D and A/Boots, I have some Bolle ones which are single vision and are pretty good.

We need them at work and are, as said, purchasable from most opticians, usually Joe 90's with the side shields shown.

Lower water content lens may help. Sounds like the opposite of what's needed but the higher content ones draw more water from the eye, plus blocks more oxygen from getting to the eye. Lower could be better. Also daily disposables may help compared to monthly.
