Done some research but a lot of dated answers 

what are my options for eye pro that can fit over glasses?

its not for me, it’s for a friend who has never played Airsoft before and wants to try it, therefore probably just a one of so expensive ones are out of the question

he can’t wear contacts due to hay fever and other issues 

he is near of blind without his glasses on

any ideas guys...

 
I’ve seen people play using a Dye i4 mask whilst wearing glasses. Bit expensive but they’re meant to be the dogs bollocks!

Some mesh goggles or masks will fit over glasses, some glasses like ESS's and I believe so of Nuprol's offerings can take prescription inserts

An option but he will literally probably ever only play one or two games over a year due to work, so couldn’t warrant the cost

That's fair enough mate probably not worth the cost then.

I don't know the make or brand but I've also seen goggles where you can get prescription inserts so that could be a better alternative?

But then I’m guessing he’d need to buy inserts which will probably cost a fair bit as well? (Not clues up on glasses and costs so maybe wrong)

 
You can fit glasses under a paintball mask, I would say it would it under a rental mask at some of the sites I played at.

I paid £4 for cheap frames off eBay that will fit most full seal goggles, haven't put lenses in but would expect that to be about £30 or more.

JT Flex 8 Goggles fit over glasses with loooooads of room underneath.

Here's my mask:

Thanks, I like it - no fog ever! :D

The mask was pre-assembled by another forum member, I got it off of him second hand. 

But it's the same as this one:

Two AAAs has my fans working for around 4 Solid game days.

Any links? Can’t seem to find them without being a full helmet unit, no seperate goggles. Cheers for all the help guys

You'll probably have to get it as a complete mask I'm afraid.

Mine had the paintball lower removed and the Mesh lower on mine is held on with Cable ties to the ventilation holes in the bottom of the goggles.

The other option, as mentioned above, is the Dye I4.

The looks aren't to everyone's tastes, but it apparently functions superbly against fog without fans, and will fit over most specs.

 
I wore glasses under my Dye i4s for a time. Use contacts nowadays but they fit just fine. Inserts are also a valid option. Definitely recommend some sort of fan attachment on the top of your mask.

Bear in mind they do fog up like a lot of goggles do. So may need to get anti fog stuff or make some DIY vents to alleviate it. 

Also use ebay or amazon. Can get that much cheaper than £20. Save yourself a few quid.
