Has anyone run across the clip on side shields for glasses?
Thanks, Lynn

By contrast, there's the advice in Alexander Weiger's book to the effect that;
Real professional blacksmiths just squint when grinding.
Never been able to find it since, but somewhere i have an old metal working book 
from WW1 showing 

row on row of worker's faces, wearing the glasses they were wearing at the time 
of the accident.
Each one of them has a missing or damaged eye, showing from behind the shattered 
lenses.
