I got a set of safety glasses that go over the glasses and are like a 2nd
pair of glasses. Ear pieces etc. I got them at the welding supply shop,
but I think Home Depot carries the same brand. Just try them on first as I
had one pair that seemed to have waves in the view.

Wally World has metal frames (that don't look totally dorky) with
the proper lenses and side shields in the Optical department.

Not as cheap as Zenni, but quite reasonable by "Made in USA of
decent materials" standards.

I got significant change back from the C-Note, but these were also
single vision Polycarb and not Transitions. (Though I was tempted.)
If you order them as bifocals, your change will probably evapoprate.

Wal-Mart?

On-line, safetyglassesusa.com

But... anything I've wanted to do in the shop I've wanted to be
looking directly at so I've wanted full-lens readers. Only way I've
found those has been by prescription, which is pricy.

Thanks for posting that! I'd heard of those before, but hadn't found
a source. I've got a hunch that those will be exactly what I want
(both in the shop and for shooting) and far cheaper than
prescription glasses. For $20, I'm ordering a pair tonight to try
them out.

So now I'll send a question back: I've got a pair of reading glasses
with lenses that are 1/2 inch high (I just measured) and have a metal
tube carrying case, which I bought at Sears. They're obviously
unuseable in the shop, and not as nice as larger lenses in my
office -- but I can put 'em in my pocket and have them available at
meetings. Sears has stopped selling non-prescription readers, and I
haven't found another source. Anybody know of some place I can find
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.

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.
/mark

I bought enough welding-store bifocal safety glasses to hang one at
each machine. For me at least normal bifocals are good for looking
down at the desk while sitting but not so good for machining while
standing. For that I want the magnifier on top when I lean forward. An
Optivisor works pretty well although I tend to bang it into the head
of the mill. I use it on the lathe with collets but not a chuck.

I have used “paste ons” for years; they work and no problems.

First in diving masks. Dive shops have them (like everything else
there, they are a little more expensive). They stick to the inside of
the diving mask and have never come loose.

Walgreens Drug Stores have them for about $10. I have put them on
dollar store glasses and sun glasses without problem.

Regards,

I'm using the soft, slide on version of the side shields from McMaster.
Z87 rated, that is a must. Work great, I keep a pair in my briefcase for
when I'm in someone else's shop.

I have a pair of Crews bifocals, but it looks like they're only making
full lens magnifiers now. I actually prefer a full lens for most
things in the shop, but I use a relatively mild +1.50. Moving around
might be problematic with a stronger lens.

I got that wrong, they only make bifocals now and have stopped making

I got two pair of prescription bifocals at Walmart last Summer. As I
recall the prescription bifocal safety glasses were $34, or so. Side
shields and all.
The other, fancy frames, were a LOT more.

Not "safety glasses" as far guaranteed impact resistance, but good for

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,
DoN.

The local Wal-Mart has safety glasses with reader lenses in the lower
part of the lens. I think that they are about $8.

Hasn't anyone cut the bottom halves off the dollar store readers lenses and
fastening them into some plano eye protection?

I don't have much faith in that test.

I have received one eye injury, a corneal laceration, in my working
lifetime. It happened when I leaned over and my safety glasses started
to slip off, and I instinctively pushed them back, and the sharp end of
the temple piece folded in and stabbed me smack in the eye.

However glasses have saved me from injury perhaps twice.

My most recent case was when I got the bright idea of salvaging some
paint out of a spray can with a clogged valve. I thought I'd stick an
awl into the side of the can and squirt the paint into a jar. I looked
like a Dalmation a few milliseconds after that stunt. I keep those
ruined glasses on the shelf as a trophy to my intellect.

So my record is about 2-1 in favor of eye protection. But the ANSI test
is just a test, not a guarantee of performance in the field. They may
or may not save you from your self-imposed hazards.

Doesn't anyone wear goggles or face shields over their bifocals?!?
Either is much cheaper.

Hell, you can get a set (a pair of muffs, a face mask, and a pair of
goggles) at HF for $1.99 on sale at times.

I got winged by my safety glasses -
I wear continuous graded glasses in safety polycarbonate
and wear a fit over type over them.

I was up a ladder on a tree - and didn't tie me or the ladder
to the tree - my beloved was helping... rats.

She talks with her hands...

She turned and pointed that one - and the ladder tilted and
down we went. Chainsaw was shoved to the side and down I went
with the ladder. I went between the A frame and the top leg
bashed me in the glasses. Glasses bashed me in the nose.
Now I can wear Indian paint for a reason!

Among the many benefits of taking a welding class a little over a year
ago, being chewed out about wearing safety glasses in the shop enough
times to make it stick is probably of actually greater benefit than
learning a little bit about welding.

Hi Joe,

I suspect the glasses are all the same, just different
cases. The round version is about 1 inch in diameter and
5-5/8 inch long. Looks like a really fat pen/marker. I'm
pretty sure the case is plastic. Has a pocket clip too. The
round version is $14.99 - Model RF154A-150 (+1.50)

Next is an octagon (sorta, that's what they call it)
version. Same length but more rectangular in nature. Again a
pocket clip. $14.48 - Model MA045A1-ST (+2.50)

Also a plastic case which opens on one end, kinda hard to
describe. $9.99 - Model #444 (+2.00)

And yet another, full length click-open case, rectangular,
similar length. Short strap with snap to keep it closed.
Some sort of phony, leather like material covering it. Had
"Foster Grant" on the tag, the one I opened had the same
"Magnivision" glasses inside like all the rest. I think this
one was ~$14.99 too, didn't write it down. I found it the
least appealing.

I found reference to two websites:

http://www.magnivision.com/

http://www.fgxi.com/

The latter (fgxi) seems to be the parent company of
Magnivision and Foster Grant.

They had other power/diopter too. Just noted the ones that
went with model numbers I wrote down.

long, cross section is elliptical 5/8" x 7/16". They're smaller than
the ones on the ebay page seem to be.

I'm sure none of the choices were that small. The round
version was exactly like the round/pen looking ones on the
eBay page. That eBay seller had them really cheap too. If
he/she could be trusted, that is a pretty good deal.

I noticed one model there that folded in the center:

A bit unusual and more compact in length, or should be.

Oh well, I tried. At least they still had them. I suspect
that they may be a discontinued model, seeing they had no
info on their website. You may just be out of luck finding
an exact replacement
