 Eye Protection
The problem is different levels of protection....
I use didymium glasses with wings for forge welding, safety eyeglasses (my prescription) for normal smithing, and a full face palstic shield for grinding......
The didymium glasses are from a glass-blowing supply store (though some of the blacksmith supply groups now carry them)...
My normal glasses are safety glass (have to have the type engraved into the lenses to REALLY be safety glass). Most prescriptions can be made using this type of lenses, but it does restrict the frame styles....
The plastic face shield can be found at some hardware stores or cleaning supply houses (actually.... mine was from when I was an embalmer... LOL!)
Then, of course, there's welding masks/googles etc.....
As far as I can tell, there is no one type of protection that is good in all cases.....
