I think inserts could work OK in goggles.  I've had them in wrap-around safety glasses.  You'd still having the fogging issue that all chemical goggle wearers share, and a slightly more annoying cleaning procedure.  I'm sure I've seen these for sale, but can't find a source just now.  Here's a site that offers prescription inserts for goggles, but I'm not certain if they are available for chemical splash resistant goggles as opposed to "tactical" goggles.  http://www.trispeceyegear.com/products/goggle-spectacle-rx-inserts/

I've had a request to find a supplier for prescription chemical splash goggles. The requestor finds goggles over spectacles uncomfortable.  Would inserts actually work (they are a pain in the neck, literally)?

 

Ideas?
