honestly I have really considered eye protection goggles, I've seen people get their eyes messed up before, and it doesn't actually take much. I've come close a few times over the years with nearly taking very bad shots to the eye. lucky they always hit the orbital socket rather than the eye directly.
I saw something pretty cool while doing a quick patrol around my local sporting goods store.

I typically migrate towards cage face mask helmets and protective handgear just because I like to stickfight now and then. I saw something pretty wild - it was a set of goggles that are actually cage/wire mask. They were for field hockey. I figured they'd be great for fighting with sticks.

They were expensive, 75-$100. But they were pretty cool. You might check them out instead of normal safety goggles.
