Goggles w/ glasses.

Are there any goggles out there where you can where glasses underneath them and they are somewhat protected?

Check out the wraparound style that you see old people wearing.

There are ski goggles that fit, too, if you're looking for a little lighter tint & exchangeable lenses.

If you mean a ski-type goggle, Uvex, Bolle and Smith all make models that will accommodate glasses.

Since I can't wear my contacts anymore, I use Cocoon sunglasses https://www.cocooneyewear.com. They fit nicely over your glasses and come in different sizes depending on the size of your glasses. They are available on-line as well as some opticians and sporting goods outfitters like Cabela's.

I use a type called Fitovers. They go over my glasses and they come in clear lens as well as dark. They work well at keeping the air from circulating behind the lenses.

Why? Are you looking for impact protection, or to keep the snow out, or just to block wind, etc?

We've pointed you in several directions, all for various solutions that will work for any need I can think of.

The only things we haven't mentioned are safety goggles like you see in a science lab or wood shop and scuba diving goggles.

Bolle not only makes ski goggles that fit over glasses, they make a prescription lens insert that snaps into a pair of goggles. I used them back in my ski instructor days, they were great. Bolle also offers replacement lenses in a wide range of tints, from clear (for night skiing) to really dark for high altitude sun.
