    Default 'Bifocal' safety glasses

    Carbatec used to stock these way back when and I've kicked myself for not picking up a pair.

    Any case, these are from Lee Valley, USD 18.

    The ear pieces are adjustable but the bifocal panels (just visible in the photo) are only around the size of a 20c piece - a bit disappointing.

    That said, they should cope better than my lookovers which would get mashed if anything larger than a splinter hits me in the face.

    These are 2.0+ and very clear to look through.
    Cheers, Ern

    Lee Valley also sell 'stick on' lenses for safety glasses - wet them & just stick them to the inside of your specs where ever you find them convenient - top, bottom, where ever. Just don't let them lie around in a dry environment for too long as they will loose adhesion & fall off when most inconvenient - mate lost one of his while working on a movie in F.N.Qld & he's not going back to look for it - luckily I had some spares for him to take to NZ for the next film.
