I use an MSA, very clumsy w/glasses which works cuz I'm near-sighted. I was having so many respiratory problems I had to use one. Won't even turn the saw on without one now.

I use an MSA with goggles and glasses. Look like an alien! It is recommended to change the filters out pretty often, but, I just wait until I labor to breath. Will be having my 2nd cataract surgery wednesday, so, maybe the glasses will be gone, but, will still use goggles. Thank goodness for my magnifier and lamp!

Best of luck with the eye surgery, My wife had it done a few years back, both eyes  and she was able to throw away her glasses afterwards.

Well I got out to the workshop today and tried out the 3M7502 half mask and love it.  It is the only dust mask I have ever tried and like, it is comfortable and not hot.  As soon as I get into the habit I will use anytime I am in the workshop.
