Great for Rock hounding. ANSI Z 87+ rated 135mm fits my 22.5" head and my sons 21" head perfectly.
I bought these primarily for my 11 year old for rock hounding. But I also use them. I would call my head and my kid's head very average. Mine is 22.5" and his is 21". The glasses fit properly and comfortably for myself and for him. Excellent eye coverage too. Great value.I wear contacts, so I intent to wear these only with my contacts. But for testing, I tried them on with my glasses. I have very small lenses and so these glasses barely fit over my glasses. The the front lens would touch. In general I wouldn't expect these to work with your prescription glasses for most people. Especially if you don't want the lenses rubbing.The MSA glasses that I got, clearly state Z87+ on both sides of the glasses, and in the upper corner of the front of the glasses. This is the official ANSI marking. Z87+ , if you look it up on the National Safety's blog, means that is covers the Z87.1 standard. Which is higher than the standard Z87 marking. This marking means it passes the high mass 500g pointed impact test and a high speed steel ball test of 102 mph at 150' for glasses. Simply put, this Z87+ glasses are properly marked and are high quality safety standards.Pros:- very clear- wide and complete coverage for glasses without moving to goggle style.- clearly marked Z87+ in 3 locations- Nice comfortable fit that does not fall off my adult head 22.5" and my 11 yr old's 21" head.- value pricing- lots of breathing room without much nose bridge stress for general purpose glasses.- nice generic style and all transparent.Cons:- They are glasses so I don't expect them to be comfortable for a long period of time. more of a Neutral comment.

Fits perfectly. Great value
My head is on the larger side. My glasses are 128mm wide (55mm 18mm bridge). I was worried they wouldn't fit me but for such a small price it was worth giving them a try. They fit great, are very comfortable and provide good protection.These days glasses are very expensive and the coatings can be damaged with some chemicals and cleaners. It's a small amount of money to help protect the investment you made in your eyewear.These aren't going to help you win any fashion awards but they don't look that bad. The safety glasses are all clear a with big lenses so they're not very noticeable. If I haven't put on my contacts sO I can wear my cooler safety glasses I'll throw these on when working in the yard and using power tools. From a distance it's hard to notice them. They're much better looking than lab goggles.Because they're so cheap and work so well I'm probably going to pick up a few more sets so that I have one in every tool box and by my outdoor power tools so I always have a pair handy when I need them without having to go looking for them.

These do very well for prescription lens wearers.
As a very near-sighted individual who also suffers from what optometrists refer to as shadowing (where my uncorrected vision repeats what I'm looking at many times like a kaleidoscope), I need to wear my glasses for absolutely everything or else I cannot make out what I'm doing, and in some cases this would be extremely dangerous.One such dangerous case is when I tend to my 2 acres of lawn. My job is to do the trimming, and anybody who has operated a weed eater knows where 100% of the grass, pebbles, sticks, and everything else on the ground goes -- right back at the user. This is especially problematic with a large walk-behind brush trimmer we use when the overgrowth gets out of control, which is basically an industrial weed eater which is even worse at peppering me with literally everything in its path.I mention these two facts because my glasses cost as much as my first couple of cars and I'm unwilling to sacrifice them to the weed eater god. My last pair received quite a bit of abuse from these lawn tools and I was intent on protecting this pair from the same fate, so I needed to keep my glasses on to see and keep them from getting destroyed at the same time.As luck would have it, today was lawn day and I got to take my new safety glasses for a spin. To begin with, they fit nice but not great. My glasses are the rectangular kind that are as wide as my face, and these safety goggles fit them entirely inside without any problems. The lens of the safety glasses has a slight curvature to it which makes them rest vary far down my nose though, so even as a glasses wearer for the last 18 years I kind of went through that pressure-on-the-nose acclimation period again. The bows fit nicely and snugly around my glasses and behind ears with no weight or pain.The bottom and sides of the safety glasses fit snugly against my cheeks and temples which is the most important area to be covered in my situation. There are large gaps at the top though, where my finger can fit in between the safety glasses and my face. This may be due to the curvature of the lens making the safety glasses basically hook into the top corners of my prescription glasses, so they're likely tilting out sightly due to the shape of my prescription glasses. I also found out very quickly when I put them on indoors that they are very, very glarey. This is not so much an issue outdoors but anyone wearing them inside is probably going to have a lot of trouble.Minor complaints about fit aside, they worked very well. They kept my eyes and my prescription lenses safe all afternoon, and a quick wash under the tap with a sheet of paper towel and it's good as new again. I didn't have any scratching problems as many people seem to be bringing up against these, despite more than a few ballistic sticks deflecting off the lenses.In all, I'm happy. Cheap, fast to ship, quick to arrive, and I don't have to risk scratching/breaking my prescription lenses and frames. The only really worrying bit about the whole thing is an explicit statement in the instructions that came with the safety glasses: "DO NOT wear over personal eyewear." This sounds like it's at odds with features specifically touted in its favor.Since I've purchased these though (May 28) these glasses have become ~$3 as an add-on item whereas mine were $5 free shipping.

Great add-on item
I completely forgot that this was sitting in my add-on cart as I don't often make large purchases.I do wish I could buy it regularly, but I finally got a pair and love them. I struggle a bit with safety glasses, I guess I have really sweaty eyeballs because most fog up badly, even with the little vent holes (in those rubbery science class ones).I got a pair that are more like glasses before, and they didn't fog but also didn't give much side coverage. I've been using this pair daily at the techshop and it's easily my favorite pair to date. They aren't too floppy and made of a nice light plastic that fits my big head just right. The earpieces could be a bit more comfortable but it's very very minor.The biggest thing is that they breath really nicely, and I've yet to fog them up, so I don't need to worry about fogging in the middle of using the drill press or anything.They breath well, fit decently and are a fantastic price. Nothing more I could ask of them for $2.75 really.

There Average
I needed some protective googles that would fit over my glasses. I found this pair and it fits some what over the glasses but not well. They remind me of what a shop teacher would hand out. There very light not comfy they hardly fit over glasses. Sadly I would say its a hard pass.

Great value, fits over glasses
Goes over glasses, and will stay in place when bending over. May be a little snug for some larger frames / heads but was right for me. I’m not sure how durable they are as I’ve only used them once, but they appear durable. Great value, happy with purchase, would buy again.

Solid 2-month lifetime safety goggles for the average garage hobbyist.
Pros:Fit well over prescription glasses, even relatively large framesNice and optically clear at first, stay that way if you maintain them carefully.Very light and comfy, forget you're wearing them.Cons:Same pair is actually cheaper from a big box brick and mortar hardware store.Won't stand up to grinding jobs or absentminded wiping on your t-shirt, you'll have to rinse them and use a clean cloth to clean themFogs quickly with improper care, in 6 months tops even with good care.

Comfortable Safety Glasses
These Safety Glasses fit comfortably over my eye glasses and stayed place as I was working. Vision through the glasses was clear and unimpaired.

cheap
The quality is cheaper than the price. can easily break. if you don't wear glasses then you just have to bear with the just-so viewing, but it doesn't fit well with the prescription glasses although says to be OTG...
