2. MCR Crews Law OTG Tinted Safety Glasses
Price: $7 – $9
Fit over glasses: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
Key features: UV protection (tinted)
Despite their seemingly low height, we were happy to see that these safety glasses fit over our glasses with ease – they are very well-designed to keep you both comfortable and protected on the job site. A clear model is available, but we liked the tinted option – blocking 99.9% of UV rays, and well-suited to wear as safety glasses over glasses during outside jobs like construction. Unlike the Uvex model above, these do have a tendency to accept scratches, so keep them somewhat protected when not in use.

Fit over glasses: ★ ★ ★ ★
Key features: Lightweight
These Gateway Cover 2 over glasses safety glasses are a great choice for chemistry lab work, as they are extremely lightweight and fog-resistant (unlike some bulky safety goggles you’ve seen around).

If you’re looking for a pair of general-use safety glasses that fit over glasses, they will serve you well during home projects and occasional use.
