Abstract: Items of protective eyewear and methods of use are disclosed, useable during welding, cutting, soldering, brazing, and other operations. The body of the eyewear includes a first side having a generally transparent surface, a second side for placement against a user's face, and space defined between the first and second sides for accommodating a second item of eyewear worn by the user if needed. A circulation apparatus secured to a first side surface of the eyewear is useable to evacuate air from the space to prevent fogging, while additional air is drawn through at least one ventilation opening is disposed through the body of the eyewear. A power source and a switch are secured to the body in operative association with the circulation apparatus, such that actuation of the switch causes actuation of the circulation apparatus.
