I've (as an adult) always worn safety glasses with sideshields, Z87s now. They have caught 5 projectiles THAT I KNOW capable of taking an eye. I only needed prescriptive lens after I turned 50, but I can still see.
My choice.
I have Dydinium from glassblowing in the 70s and have used them in Aluminum melts with welding goggles and they worked great but now they have no correction...
Thank You for this study I really like the reinforcement in the scientific protection of Eyes. I kind of like seeing. Many jobs I started had no safety glasses requirements I just cannot understand no eye protection or the use of not-proper eye protection.
