picker77 Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 I suppose others have done this, but if like me you need readers for close work, try this. I wear 1.5 safety glasses in my shop, and got really tired of messing with trying to use them inside my MIG helmet. Had some spare 1.5 lenses for my OptiVisors, so I masking-taped one inside over the MIG helmet lens. Works like Bob's your uncle. You can get spare OptiVisor lenses in about any power desired pretty cheap on the auction place, and they fit nicely with a little tape around the edges. Being inside, they don't get all scratched up, either. Mine are two years old and no scratches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 I have the cheater lenses that fit my helmet, they are clear and go behind the tint lens. They work well with the auto darkening helmets too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinnytinny Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 My husband bought an auto darkening welding helmet, works well now. Sorry, I am a little curious. May I know what lenses you have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
