i know for me, it pinches the back of my head and i start feeling light headed as if im not getting enought blood circulated through that area of my head

is there a way to reduce this strain? or a safety goggles that dont have this problem?

on the field esp. sometimes id have to remove them and hope that safety guys werent looking.. but it was only for a little bit, just enought to massage the back of my head lol
but i didn want to get safety violations...

any help here?
The big, heavy style of glasses FIRST events usually provide to visitors always gives me a headache for the same reason you mentioned - they pinch around the back of my head behind my ears. However, there are some nice, LIGHT safety glasses that you can hardly tell are on when you're wearing them. Those rarely give me troubles. They also permit superior peripheral vision.

The pic in this link is hard to make out, but I believe this is almost the exact style of glasses we use.

This site also offers several "fit over prescription" safety glasses here - http://www.safetyglassesusa.com/fiovrxgl.html.
