Forging Glasses

I did a search but most of the threads I found were 10-12 years old. What is the latest in UV/IR eye protection in non prescription glasses? This would be for general forging as well as forge welding/damascus etc.

I just use my shade green #5 plasma cutting glasses. But it takes practice with the green to read the colors so you don't overheat the steel.

Aura-lens AU-99. They come in plain, prescription, and bi-focal. They are made for glass workers and metal workers.

Ok, thanks Stacy. This was the consensus a decade ago. I thought there may have been something new since then.
