Goggles and Glasses what to do?
 
I wanted to know, because I have glasses, is there any good Goggles out there that are made to be wornd on top of your own glasses?

Many brands. Go to a good shop and try a few on.
It will depend on the size of your glasses and the size of your head.

I find JT Spectras work well for me. I also picked up a pair of ESS STRIKER Tactical THERMAL Goggles, they fit quite well as well though I did need to trim some of the nose bridge work for it to be totaly comfortable.

Some people just wear paintball goggles and wear their perscription glasses under it. Other get perscription inserts for tactical goggles like the Bollé, Wileys and Oakleys. I'm not sure of any paintball manufacturers who make masks with perscription inserts, though. That's a pretty big deal, as most fields are paintball-goggle only.

As said above most of the good goggles will fit glasses underneath or offer Rx inserts for your lenses.

Some retailers, like myself, will also offer to have your Rx made for you (Shatterproof polycarbonate) that fit into existing frames. We do this with the Wiley X Romers and others we carry.

Just make sure if you go this route that the ones making the lenses know what they are doing. There are a couple different cuts for lenses and you want to make sure you get the sport cut. It's harder to do, but it's a must have for better protection.

Personally I'd look into getting some contacts, that is if your able to. This was such a huge relief for me when I used goggles because no matter how much my goggles were fog proof and no matter how much fog repellent I used, my glasses would go and fog up instead.
Granted eventually you'll spend more on contacts then you'd initially spent on goggles (assuming you buy disposable ones), but I honestly think it's worth it.
Also, a friend of mine has used mesh paintball-style goggles (it'd be pointless to play paintball in them) and said they work just as well as normal paintball goggles until it starts getting dark. But it totally eliminates any possibility of fogging up and lets your glasses breath.

I wear my glasses on the field, I used to use Bolle's but my glasses would fog up like crazy, so i invested in the ESS turbo-fan gogles. The best investment i ever made, no fog, ever.

Droc

No Bolle at this time.

I use a dye invision mask.
but i plan to get some JT spectras soon because they fit closer to your face. (so i can aim my gun)
I also am thinking of getting contacs. glasses are just such a pain.
