There are ways to make one.  A motor cycle helmet is big and clumsy, 
but the plastic face shield can be purchased and added to those 
magnyfing glass/head visors we like to use.

I have a bunch of safety glasses mostly because I do some grinding 
and metal work.

I had a piece of stainless pulled from the center of my eye when I 
was young.  it took 3 visits to the doctors to find it.  the third 
visit, he turned off the lights and shined a light sideways to see it.

it was dead center and had looked like a reflection on any straight 
in looking.

And, My first job out of high school was for a man who had lost one 
eye when his grinder wheel exploded.

My neighbors think I'm overdoing it when I wear safety glasses when 
using engine cleaner.  But I can look them in the eyes and laugh !

The key word there is LEARN !
