Safety glasses recommendations

[Remiskeet]

Does anyone have a source for safety reader glasses? I was given a couple of pairs and love them, but have not had any luck finding a source for more.I can find all kinds of bi-focall safety glasses. That is not what I am looking for. A 1.5x reader is perfect for me for everyday use, both close up and reasonable distances. A 2x reader matches my wifes distance prescription perfectly as well.
if you have a source for fixed focus safety readers, please post it up

I'm not sure if they still carry them, but Princess Auto ( I see Ontario in your avatar) used to carry "bifocal" safety glasses that where only a couple of $$.

I wear prescription glasses, so, I always get safety rated RX glasses at the same time.

EDIT: often there are ‘buy one pair, get one pair 50% off’ offers. Many people use these to get prescription sun glasses (which are great fir driving). I tried to use them for safety glasses (ANSI rated, side shields, etc. ).

Sears used to sell them. Sam's Club Optical (not sure if you need to be a member). Many other optical places have some, but usually more limited choices, and more $$$.

Beats the . . . . out of wearing other glasses / goggles over these.

I wear progressive (bifocal) glasses full time. Last year I bought progressive safety glasses online from Zenni Optical. I have been very pleased with them. I wear them full time at work (petroleum industry) . When using a chainsaw at home, I also wear a helmet/mesh shield/earmuff combo.

Yeah, first time I got bifocals, I thought I did not need them on the safety glasses.

Could not read anything!

Could barely see the chain when filing!

Could not read speedometer in car!

Did not make that mistake again!

I likely have 20 pairs of bifocal safety glasses. That’s not what I’m looking for. I am looking for full lense safety readers. I know they are (were) made as I have 2 pairs I was given, but I cannot find a source (and there are no markings on the ones I have)

I Googled ’Safety Glasses Readers’ and got dozens of hits.
