    The 2000/01 Fisher Catalog, pp. 1502-1511 shows a wide variety
    of UV-blocking glasses and goggles from the plain
    garden-variety, ANSI Z87.1 approved glasses to designer glasses
    with snazzy frames.  Prices range from about $5.00 to $13.00 per
    pair.

    The 2000 Lab Safety Supply catalog, pp. 290-295 show UV-blocking
    glasses with a price range of about $2.00 - $13.00.

Please note that not all of the glasses shown on these pages filter
UV radiation.  Some glasses are intended only for impact or chemical
splashes.

I am sure that there are others, but these two suppliers offer a
nice range of styles and colors as well as are OSHA approved.
