   II had a pair and they were good, safty plus you can see. Go to your eye glass place and have them tell you which one to buy. Shouldn't cost anything.

   I have been using similar glasses for several years and they are great.  I bought them at Woodcraft

   I just went to my local optometrist and ordered a pair to my specs. (No pun intended.) In my case I requested Tri-focals, as I have found that when I bandsaw, my eyes are viewing the cut-line just between the distance and close-up focus points.

   I've been using "cheater" safety glasses for five years. I love them.

   In addition to the offering that you found from Lee Valley, you'll find LOTS of other suppliers if you do a simple web search.

   I've bought some from (IIRC) SafetyGlasses.com , and I remember hundreds of other online vendors.

   Jack,

   I bought some bifocal safety glasses a couple months ago. I've found I like them a lot, especially in our metal shop. I looked around for quite a while before buying them and located a source that priced their stuff for nearly half what I thought I'd have to pay for high quality safety glasses.

   The best prices I found was at http://www.safetyglassesusa.com. They stock a large selection of bifocal safety glasses. I prefer safety glasses that are more like my regular glasses so I bought some of these: http://safetyglassesusa.com/tahrxsafread.html

   You can not go wrong with bifocal safety glasses for the price. It will make you cry when you start scratching up your $200 pair from the Dr. I have found a wide selection of bifocal safety glass here.

   I have bought the Rendevous model since I like the way the temple has a "ratchet" adjustment so I can put the bifocal lens right where I want to place it.

   Hope this helps-

   I just bought two pair of these at 2.00 strength. They're very light and comfy.
