Went shopping for better safety glasses based on inspiration from this thread. I have a narrow face, so tried to find something that would fit better than the typical one size fits all. Bought a pair of "Delta Plus Avion" safety passes in their slim fit size. Really happy for the $9 price. Comfortable, good clarity, not too dorky.
I know a few friends who use this website. There are alot of different types, ratings and pricing.

Some are definitely high in price but eyes are irreplaceable.
When debating if you need safety glasses for something quick, I show people this photo I saw from a story a few years ago. Something that you think will only take 2 seconds can go wrong super quick.

Been wearing Smith and Wesson safety glasses at work for the last 15 years. So far I have found them to have the least distortion in the lenses.
Most of the other brands and even the OG style give me a headache after about 30 minutes to a hour of wearing them.
That's just my go to. Mainly find something that fits well and can be worn for 6-8 hours at a time.
