try getting some mesh goggles from andy & max 's Or you could use a custom fan to put in your goggles. I have seen some guys that use those but its a little expensive. My take go with the mesh.

You can also get some wrap around perscription eyewear. I know MACK has some bad-ass Oakley frames with perscription ANSI safety lenses. Depending on your eyewear benefits (if you have them) you might be able to get your insurance to pick it up for your annual benefit. My personal plan gives me 3 frames and 2 lenses every 12 months. I just got some safety back-up prescription glasses myself. I had to pay about $40 over my benefit to cover it, but I am guranteed to have something I can see out of and use if my contacts fail.

Only one set of peepers...protect them.

I have a pair of prescription Wiley-Xs that I'm happy with as well.

Try Crown Optical & Safety. I went through them to get my eye protection, Adidas Evil Eye Pro with Rx inserts. They've got a great selection for safety eyewear, I strongly recommend them to anyone looking for safety eyewear. Whether they need prescription or not.
