On a serious note, the uvex pheos glasses we use at work with the anti mist coating have been superb during the pandemic when we have had to wear masks as well as safety glasses.
My previous glasses without anti mist would be impossible to see through almost as soon as they went on, these just didn’t mist at all - I think you can get a spray to reduce misting on normal glasses as well but I haven’t tried that yet

i know they exists as I’ve been dealing with PPE supplied to the NHS for the last 18 months, I’ve set up end user trials where they have to demonstrate that that they do not mist up when in use, before they buy them
where are you buying them from ?

The Dewalt specs are actually much more curved (wrap-around) than may appear to be the case in pictures, and having bought a few different specs over recent months, they are the ones I chose to buy "in bulk", but it's very a much a personal thing. For what it's worth, they score 4.5 out of 5 in the Screwfix feedback.
I still have UVEX goggles in-reserve for some tasks, as well as some full-face shields. No one solution fits all needs and misting seems to be common with many types of goggles.

ok thanks parm
Thanks everyone. I spent my time in the waiting room ordering one of all the glasses which looked good off the Toolstation website.
I really rate uvex goggles, with the face shield attached, which is what I wear when doing actual grinding etc for any length of time, I am generally pretty careful, just a mistake today. All good, no damage done to my eye, it was just a bit too stuck for my eye wash to get out - the doctor removed it with a cotton bud, so I felt a bit of a drama queen!
I agree to treating them as consumables - normally I do, but the most recent ones I got were a bit pants, so thanks for all the recommendations.

Could there be a large element related to age? A lot of young people have about as much interest in H&S as they do in pension schemes. And similarly, at some point, people wish they had taken more interest earlier on?
I watched a programme on TV the other night about life in the London docks in the early sixties. No gloves, no boots, no hats... nothing. And they went down the pub at lunch time and 2 or 3 pints was normal.

I’ve no idea about age?
But in them days that did happen, but also quite a few of them got hurt or died and life expectancy wasn’t too great.
We must thank Lord Robens for where we are now

The way to keep glasses from fogging up is to rub your saliva on them, then gently rinse off with water. Its how we keep our masks clear when snorkelling or scuba diving. There is also a commercial form of spit (saliva) that can be purchased, but its no better than what's natural.

yep i have always done the same when snorkling or scuba diving
I used to use unexpected marks but I now need something that will also prevent chips hitting my face. So I am looking for recommendations for a mask I can wear whilst using the lathe the mill and pedestal drill.Yeah, I can't see why you would choose them over normal goggles, its not like a normal set are overly intrusive (The Uvex ones we use are pretty low profile), you'll get better peripheral vision and your eyes will probably be able to "breathe" a bit rather than watertight swimming goggles.

I seem to remember @doubleboost using a decent grinding helmet but also I thought he had a decent mask.
I find masks not good fitting most of the time..
Any suggestions??
I have taken to wearing swimming goggles under my welding helmet - a great added layer of protection. Hot little bbs getting into the welding mask terrify me. These seal your eyes totally. Not approved of course but under a mask who cares? They also came with some rubber earplugs which are proving quite useful as well. Not only that but when using a dust mask they don't fog up.
