bolles (t800) they have a notch at the sides for the arms of your glasses and everything. strongly recommend em.

Maybe consider the ultimate fix to this issue with glasses? Eliminate the need for them though laser eye surgery if that is an option? I do know the price of these operations have come down quite a bit and they are commonplace enough that the chance of a "surgical mishap" is statistically low these days.

finding a goggle that fits over glasses is a pain. variables involved are the width of your face, how big your glasses are, shape of your face/size of your nose. i'm in the same boat as you. for me the closest thing i've found to fitting well over glasses is the jt spectra but i still have to fidget with my glasses a bit. i've since gotten the rx insert for them and a vortex fan just in case they fog. that's for a pb field. for non pb fields i have the cf issue sawfly's with the rx adaptor but in my case i actually have to double up on the nose piece to keep the rx lenses from sitting on my eyelids. i'm asian so i dont have much of a nose bridge. they sit fine without the rx insert but with the insert on i strap 2 of the nose pads together so that they sit a bit further away without sitting so far that a bb will take out an eye. i've tried the bolle 800's but found there to be to big of a gap where the goggle should seal on the bridge on the nose, again i'm asian, and the corners of my glasses touch the goggle lens. my glasses are as narrow as i can wear and they're far from chunky being titanium. (not the frameless ribbons though)

i suppose there really isnt much else you can do other than trial and error, if you dont want to or cant ( like me) wear contacts or get lazer surgery.

not everyone can qualify for laser eye surgery.
I haven't yet.
and as for contacts; you can loose them just standing there, but it's something that doesn't happen often (but I have seen once before)

Maybe my head is a certain screwed up form but I got the goggles Classic army sells and I have big glasses with thick arms and they fit quite comfortably with the goggles over top, no movement and no pinching to my head; I hardly knew that I was wearing glasses under them.

You can pick them up and A&A airsoft or whever sells them, but A&A is the one where I got mine.

My Wiley x CQC will fit over my glasses just fine. I wear a narrow set of glasses though, so if yours are wider they may not fit. If its an option go to a supply/tactical store and just try on various makes and models over your glasses. Some saftey companys also make perscription saftey glasses/goggles that may work. The saftey glasses usually have optional sideshields and such.
