I used to have a great pair of safety glasses that fit close to your cheek and did not have a gap near the bottom. Eventually they ended up breaking and the company does not make them anymore. I tried a couple other different safety glasses and they all have gaps on the bottom near where it meets your cheek and stuff can fly up under them and get in your eyes. Does anyone have a recommendation for safety classes that do not have a gap on the bottom?

Check out the Pyramex online catalog. Many glasses (not just the goggles) have foam gaskets around the eye frames.
