I have googled and found a few, not even expensive, 10-20eur or so.
Now i use closed goggles, but they are no 100% protection.
I found this out using the proxxon grinder (these tiny grinding wheels
don't look like much, but they have a speed which throws the dust like
a shotgun. i would't like to know what happens if the wheel breaks
and pieces hit your eye.
But back to the goggles, they never fit the form of your head perfectly,
and
you should look in a mirror where they are open and try to adjust.
I found out when dust kept hitting my eyes with the goggles on (in came in
on the bottom).
(Note that i have optical glasses too, but they provide no protection at
all.)
I'll see if i can get one of those face-shields, i don't think putting it
on
takes any longer than putting on the goggles properly.
