Eyewear

I know this is one thing our company does not supply but to me is a necessity. I can't go without a good pair of safety glasses. Not the old man safety glasses but the normal sunglasses looking ones.

I lost mine the other day and realized how important they are. While walking through the woods trying to locate I had to stop about five times because I kept getting poked in the eye by branches.

I still don't understand why they don't supply safety glasses. I go through a ton of them because they get so scratched up from branches. Luckily I just found a lot of ten of them on ebay. It looks like I won't need to buy any for a while.

My husband cannot leave home without his glasses. He did one day and had to turn around to come back and get them. The sun is blinding usually twice a day. I would like to see the companies pay for them also!

Golden:

I took my normal prescription eyeglasses in to the optician and had them use some kind of new hard plastic with a scratch resistant coating added on.
Also got the veri-gray tint so they turn pretty dark in the sunlight but clear up really fast indoors.

Have had them about a year now and no problems.

Safety glasses were something else that took up room in an already congested ranger and like you, they were always getting scratched, broken and lost.
