Used for PPE Goggles
Just wanted to place a review so it may benefit others who may need readers while using PPE's for whatever reason. I bought a pair of DeWalt antifog goggles to use  while working in the hospital. The reason being we are seeing more and more people with respiratory issues and we are implementing stricter precautions. Prior to this I use using simple reader bifocal safety glasses which would fog up when using an N95 or simple mask. As an RN i chart a lot on a computer, which is a light prescription then my reading glasses, so I came up with the idea of making a tri-focal goggle to be able to use during my ling shifts. I trimmed my computer prescription down placed those just below eye level and then placed my reading prescription under that. I used a dry-erase marker to look in the mirror and centered it on my pupil at the 2 different angles I would be using when using a computer and when I would be reading close up. It took a little tweaking here and there but I am very happy with the results. The cost is a little more then I would like to pay, but it is a lot cheaper then custom goggles from an optometrist and a lot faster. To me the prescriptions seem about 0.25 off. If I had to do it over again I would get 0.25 stronger then my normal prescriptions. I have worn them around the house for about 3 hours and so far so good. when walking around the top is clear and I don't get any blurriness from the computer lens, this is due to my placement, you will have to experiment to get it just right. The cool thing is when the lens is wet and being placed it stays in place, but can be moved easily until it dries. Also the lenses can be removed and cleaned and replaced on another set of glasses or goggles.The inside of my goggles should stay clean so I don't plan on cleaning the inside that often. If I have to take the lenses off and clean the inside I will have to re-measure with the dry erase marker method to place them back in the right place.<br />I will update this review once I have worn them for a few full shifts. I hope this helps anyone out there who uses reader glasses and is in either Healthcare or any work environment where you need to wear eye protection.
