HySkore Over the Glasses Safety Glasses Set

These have worked very well for me. For the price, you get two pair of ANSI Z87.11 rated, anti-fog treated glasses. One pair is clear and one is mirror tinted for bright sunlight.

They do make you look a bit bug eyed, but I like that much better than the pirate eye-patch look.

That looks like a useful set for a good price.

Note: I believe the reference to "ANSI Z87.11" in the Midway ad is a typo. ANSI (or ANSI/ISEA) Z87.1 is the standard. ANSI Z87.1+ markings indicate impact rating for non-prescription safety glasses. Prescription safety glasses with impact rating are marked Z87.2+ on the frames, and have a manufacturers logo and a "+" on the lens.

I wear prescription safety glasses (ANSI Z87.2+) with integral side shields at work, when shooting, and when doing things around the house that might be dangerous to my eyes (mowing, working with fiddly springs, cutting onions ...). Goggles and face shields add to the protection for grinding and the like.

I've had eye surgery. I really don't want to have any more.

Why would it be incorrect? These are non-prescription safety glasses. That they're meant to be worn over prescription shouldn't make any difference.

Edit: I did some searching and find quite a few safety glasses that say they are "ANSI Z87.11-2003". Since the standards were updated in 2010 and again in 2015, I have not been able to determine what the old ".11" standard meant. Everything I can find says they're still safe to use. In my experience, ANSI is a lot like the government in that they frequently change things just for the sake of change. I guess they think it keeps them relevant.
