Inexpensive safety glasses are a good option for those who don't need
prescriptions. Not all safety glasses are created equal either, quality
does vary. I recommend going to industrial supply houses or welding
equipment stores. Fastenal

carries a good line of quality eye protection, many options are less
than $5. You can buy a box of safety glasses for a fraction of the cost
of any "fashion eye wear" options. At that price stock up and rotate
through them, use the older ones for working in the yard or when you're
under the car, etc.

The fogging issue, whether with safety or prescription glasses, can
largely be addressed with lens treatments. The best product I've ever
used is Sumner Labs 210 Plastic Cleaner and Polish. Originally developed
for aircraft canopies it has become the favorite of motorsports
enthusiasts as well. This has been my exclusive treatment for all my eye
wear and face shields for years. Not only is it anti-fog but it's
anti-static, which means you can simply blow the dust off in dry, dusty
summer conditions.

Also remember that in a pinch plain ol' spit is an anti-fog treatment
too. Just ask any scuba diver what they use.
