So they say necessity is the mother of invention. So here it goes.
I have perfect 20/20 for distance, I used to fly RC plane in the day, but still need glasses for reading, due to an operation I had a few years ago to replace my eye lenses to eliminate my cataracts.
I saw that the screens were blurry in my goggles. I use 1.5 diopter for reading, reading all the posts on line, I experimented and decided on 4.5 Power Readers. I now have an
Extremely sharp view of the screens.
I sacrificed the glasses and cut off the arms on my bandsaw,
mounted a very small neodymium magnet to the front of them after grinding them down to flatten the small curve on them for a better fit.
Epoxied the magnet with 5 Minute Epoxy.
Do not use CA/Super Glue orYour wife's nail glue, it can ruin your lenses if it runs and cause crazing.
Find a short piece of metal the width of the channel in between the lenses by about 3/8 long so that you can adjust yours lenses up or down on it. I used thin two sided tape to mount the strip for now. The magnet will hold the lenses very firmly and can be removed in a second for someone else to use.
