You don't have to get cycling glasses, just clear safety glasses that look and perform just the same but cost a third of the price. The last pair I bought came from Screwfix; you may well have a pair already in your shed/garage/workshop/spare room
I couldn't agree more Marco. I wear a pair of Viking, the lawnmower arm of Stihl, glasses which have snazzy green frames and a sunglass type safety lens.
