I got poked in the eye last week while rolling. It's nothing serious but it looks really nasty and could have easily been much worse. It got me thinking about looking into some protective eyewear. Does anybody know anything about this? I picked up some tennis/racquet ball eyewear this weekend, but it won't do. The glasses are hard plastic and if I were to get hit square in the face, it would leave a nasty gash in the bridge of my nose. This was the only option that the guys at Dick's had for me. I think I need something flimsy like swimming goggles. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Maybe some flexible eye wear under a face guard?

All worthy suggestions!

It doesn't sound like I have many options though. Maybe I'll just chalk it up to dumb luck and assume it won't happen again. Thanks guys.
