I like to wear wrap around safety glasses similar to the ones he
http://www.safetyglassesusa.com/bf50.html I buy this style with the
reader lens. For a lot of my work, I would like to have a much larger
reader segment, so that I do not have to crane my neck as much or have
to lift the glasses up with one hand to be able to see; and just have
a much smaller standard vision area to look out of. I have not found
off the shelf safety glasses like this. Someone on this board
(several years ago) discussed the stick on readers from OPTX20/20.

I figured using these would give me 50 to 60% of the lower portion of
the lens being reader with the balance for looking at further
distances. I bought my regular reading diopter and a second set at
the next highest diopter for when my head is jammed in too close to
focus with my regular reading Rx.

I read the instructions before ordering and it appears that one
applies a drop of water to the inside of the safety glasses and then
wrings the water out to get adhesion. I can not get the reader lens
to adhere no matter how hard or mildly I try to wring the water out.
And yes, I did wash the glasses with soap prior to trying to apply
these to remove any oils that may have been on the lens. And I had
the correct orientation of the lens. Anyone else had success in using
these? I watched the video on the web page but I did not get any more
information than just reading the instructions.

Not a response to your question, but I gave up and paid for prescription
safety glasses.

Prescription eyeglass lenses are polished, but the wrap-around lenses are
molded and they may have some residue mold release compound that is very
hard to remove. I would not use solvent. Try just a lot of detergent and
rubbing with your (clean) finger to remove it.
