   For 'store-bought' safety glasses I like the Selstrom '20-20' style. Last time I looked they were fairly cheap when purchased in boxes of 12 pieces. (somewhere around $3.50 each). Some people have a problem with them fogging up because they are a close fit to the face. You can always have your local glasses store get you a 'real glass' set of lenses to go into a standard glasses frame, or they may be able to order safety glasses with glass lenses. To the best of my knowlege, the glass must be tempered so it will not scratch or break.

   There is a plastic cleaner called "Brillianze" weird spelling. That is good for cleaning plastic lenses and plastic sheets like plexi. It cleans and polishes some of the small scratches. I got some from a company that sells plastic sheet goods. They might have it at Tap plastics. Good luck

   Jim,

   In my shop safety glasses are a strict requirement, so needless to say I have an extensive collection of glasses, goggles, and shields.  I've found the Nuvo glasses from AO Safety to be very comfortable for all day wear.  Plus, they are very scratch resistant - at least for me.  One thing that will keep down the scratching is that if you ever need to clean them, use water and a paper towel or a wet lens wipe.  Dry wiping them will cause whatever grit that's on the lens to scratch.
