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

I went the other way--bought bifocals from Zenni and added some clip-on
side shields from http://www.tasco-safety.com/safety-glasses.html.
Works fine.

True safety glasses have to pass a test involving a 1" diameter
steel ball being dropped on them from a specific height. This is to
assure that both the lens and the attachment to the frame can handle the
impact.

I don't think that your glasses from Zenni were made to this
standard, let alone *tested* to this standard.

Good Luck,
