I use these for strumming in the summer months as all safty glasses fog up and we sweating doesn't help. I find them comfortable all day long. As for wearing over glasses mabie some motocross goggles or ski goggles but you'll still get fog issues. 

Ah I forgot about the wearing over glasses bit but if you follow the link there are other offerings of mesh safety specs that could be worn over glasses. The ones I'm thinking of have a band to go around the back of your head.

I am finding that mesh still lets the dust in.

Think bolle do safty prescription glasses with different colour lenses yellow dark and clear I think specsavers advertising them you'll be looking well into the £££ though.

Just ordered some ski OTG (Over the Glasses) googles.

 

Will see how I get on.

The air circulates around a big strimmer screen so I bet it would on these too.

Have you tried different prescription glasses? Maybe narrower ones would fit under safety glasses better?

 

Haven't worn them in years but JSP make ones called "overspec" - I'm sure other companies would do their own versions too :

M9300 Overspec Clear Lens Hard hats, Safety Helmets, Bumps Caps, Disposable Masks, Full Face Masks, Ear...

Also, I wonder if there's any modifications that could be done to the machine to help with the dust? Length of pipe? Blower fan? Rubber flap? etc

If it's on contract jobs try to set up that you know the chips will be blown away from you but not always possible. I might ask why is dust the problem? A processor should be making chips which tend to be ruled by gravity unless the wood is very dry or gone over.

The wind I was working in the other day was strong enough to blow any bits about. Chips tend to fly straight to glasses takes care of them. The dust or prob more accurately fines which you will always get is more likely to follow the smaller air currents around glasses & screens.

Thats a good point.

My current glasses are a lot thinner than when I last tried googles.
