Default Safety glasses w bifocals

inquiring whether they sold safety glasses / frames, but got no reply.
Is there any place where you can get inexpensive safety glasses with
bifocals?

Anybody had any experience with the paste on magnifier lenses that you
put on the bottoms of your regular safety glasses like these

They work OK, and in fact, a friend who ordered bifocals from
Zenni was provided single vision with stickies on them. Poor.

Just make sure there's no grit between the lens and the eyeglass,
and do *not* wash them with alcohol.

Like human lenses, they tend to discolor and harden over a period
of years.

Priced at about 12.00 on ebay.

I found them useful when I had my cataracts done (at separate times).
My implant was different from the original, so was able to make use
of 2 sets, one lens from each, having different powers. Got me over
the hump until my eyes settled down and I could order the real thing.
