Budget Glasses Reccomendations...

Got something in my eye whilst cycling last week - wasnt bad in the end, but had to listen to the mrs doing her "I told you so" routine. :roll:
think it's probably about time to elevate cycling glasses from the "nice to have" list to the "essential kit" one.
A colleague has suggested some cheap eye protectors from screwfix (he's been using them for years) - Ive also noticed a load of clear safety glasses on ebay for less than a tenner.
I just want something cheap & comfortable. Any reccomendations?
Thanks

Yepp, I think they are very good too. The only downside is that they can get a bit steamed up but I just use some antifog solution on damp days. £7 for some great glasses that look the part and if you drop/break them, who cares at that price.0 -
Great - thanks.
Will pick a pair up.

Bit more than £7 but still budget and very good value:

A friend is also using cheap glasses from screw fix and they look pretty good for the money. Think I'm going to get the same pair!0 -

They may be a little out of budget but i picked up a pair of Oakley Bottlecap on offer at £35 down from £95. Absolute steal and good service to boot.

Bolle safety glasses, you can get them for £5, look ok, do the job. You'll pay a premium for 'cycling' glasses.0

Or real bargain basement ones :

Noted that these are termed 'sporty' as opposed to sports or cycling specific but worth a try ?0 -

No question I'd get these, I've had so many glasses over the years and not only are oakleys lenses great but the glasses are very durable and seem to last forever.
I get a new pair every 2 years and I've got 4 pairs still going strong.
£35 for oakleys is fantastic value.0 -
These are brilliant for 4 quid, not available on any cycling web sites but great style, and they're good quality:
