Safety glasses for big noses? (lemmy.world)

I have a larger than average nose. Specifically, I think the bridge of my nose is too wide. This means that most safety glasses sit up too high on my face, and leave a gap below my eyes that is unprotected. Do you have any recommendations for safety glasses that might fit me better?

I've always found face shields to be the better and more comfortable option overall. It's best to invest in a quality one, though, unless you feel like constantly adjusting it.

I suppose if you're going to do that, you should also find one where the transparent part is separately replaceable for when it gets too scratched up.

The ideal would be one of those 3M full-faced respirators (or even ventilators, with the filter in a separate section connected with a hose and fan), but they're $$$.
