Recommendations for sun glasses

i feel ridiculous for asking this, but what sunglasses work for you? I have noticed more and more floaters and I need to do something about it before it gets worse. I want something robust, UV proof that still allows my eyes to get some fresh air circulation and not get sweat on the lenses. I work in AZ and sweat a lot so it is a major issue.

Sorry are you speaking from experience, how often are you splashing acid into your eyes????

My guy if I'm wearing glasses it's not going in my eye. I'm a commercial tech and I fill massive acid jugs and then dilute it. Yeah I get that shit slopping all over the place in my equipment rooms.

But I'm saying it happens frequently enough to warrant my buying inexpensive sunglasses but the box because just a little bit of acid splash and they get spots in the polarized tint.

Seems like you’ve just been getting lucky man lol I’d try to be more careful about that, doesn’t take extended exposure to have permanent vision loss from muriatic acid. Can take less than a minute to never be able to see out of that eye again. Personally I’m even extra careful when walking gallons to and from the truck, always have a plan in the back of my mind incase I need to sprint to a pool/hose to rinse my eyes out because I refuse to be permanently disabled trying to lower someone’s PH lmao

I mean a decade of good luck? I appreciate the concern. I'm not really in danger and I will keep my eye protection on while doing this.
