I get the feeling that I will be having some metal removed from my eye today at the eye doctor, not really a good time and this is the second time in a few months that I have had to do it. I always wear eye protection of some safety glasses or face shield, but crap always seems to get around them. Goggles would be best, but I can never find any goggles that fit with the dust/grinding/welding mask I am wearing. Any suggestions?

I actually use swimming goggles when I use my respirator. They actually work really well, and I have not had anything get in my eyes since.

i don't know if they have the same impact rating, but for low-mid-grade work i'm sure they're fine (especially for nasty grimey work).
if you've got really major stuff flying, you could always put regular safety glasses over the swim goggles.
