Goggles over prescription glases?

So a while back, a piece of metal going into my eyes, and since then, I haven't been able to wear contacts/get lasik.

That being said, are there specifically any goggles that are good to wear over normal prescription glasses, maybe wider than normal ones? Does anyone here even wear glasses? haha

Thanks.

Keep in mind that Smith's OTG lenses are not double-paned (at least not the Phenom OTG lenses)

My Smith Knowledge OTG are double paned and do a great job with not fogging. What they couldn't do is keep my glasses from fogging. I couldn't even stand up before my glasses would fog and blind me. That is probably more to do with me being a sweat monster and my glasses being super old and crappy. If I hadn't switched to contacts I would have gotten the Smith Knowledge Turbo Fan goggles. I have also heard that Cat Crap works great for preventing fogging but never tried it.. Amazon.com: Cat Crap Lens Cleaner Anti-Fog: Sports & Outdoors

Some large goggles can work with glasses but specific ones liek the Knowledge have a modified frame to keep pressure off the arms of the glasses.

Thanks for the help guys!

Ive decided to go with Smith Turbo Fan ones...reviews seem solid!
Smith Knowledge OTG Turbo Fan Series Goggles from Backcountry.com

I am debating between the ignitor/sensor. What do you guys suggest for all day conditions? The lady on BC mentioned that ignitor is a better way to go but just wondering if anyone has any personal experience with these lenses?

Thanks!

I've got the RC36 and Yellow lenses for my goggles. The RC36 has nearly the same VLT as the Ignitor. The RC36 is good for all days except when it gets really cloudy and overcast. Then I lose some contrast and it gets hard to see. The Sensor is barely a tint and you will be struggling to see on a sunny day.

I have the Smith Knowledge goggles as well. My glasses themselves do tend to fog up (not goggles) within the first minute or two after doing a long run so I normally have to take the goggles off before I get on the lift. But, it's a not a big deal. If I were to get a new pair I'd get the turbo fan model. The Knowledge goggles are comfortable though.
