Can you wear them over your regular glasses?
BEST ANSWER: My answer is no, they are not designed to wear over your regular glasses. In fact, I had some difficulty with them because I have a short nose and the nosepieces didn't fit. Sorry.

I need 1 . 25 glasses
BEST ANSWER: After using over the counter reading glasses a good many years, I don't believe you will see much difference between a +1.25 and+ 1.5 diopter strengths . If you have no idea where to start, consider using this average age formula: If you are under 40 years old, you probably should start with a +1.25 strength. Between ages 40 and 45, you probably need +1.75. At ages 45 to 50, you probably need +2.00. After age 50, you probably need +2.25. Since 1.5 is the lowest strength they have available, I would choose it. I myself, with 20/20 vision, use + 2.5.

Perfect protection
I recently had a corneal transplant and needed extra protection for my eye at work. These were great for my recovery. Durable and clever.

Great product
I'm on my second pair. I have used the first pair for about a year. They are comfortable and good protection. Being made of plastic & getting hit by sawdust, collecting perspiration and getting wiped hourly, they won't last forever, but at that price, they are worth it. Sometimes, I even forget that I have them on when I leave the shop & go to the house with them still on.

Safety Glasses
I use to take my glasses off to put my safety glasses on and then take my safety glasses off and put my glasses back on. I use to do this over and over throughout the day. Now I forget that I am wearing the bifocal safety glasses and sometimes do regular activities with them on. I give them two thumbs up, and would recommend them to anyone that requires reading/cheater glasses.

great glasses
The placement of the magnification portion of the lenses on these glasses is pretty low, and some reviewers don't like that geometry because it forces them to look down through the bottom part of the safety glass lenses to use the magnification. For me, that is not a bad thing but a very good, comfortable and useful thing. I try to be very careful about my eyes, and I used to get really sick and tired of constantly removing and replacing reading glasses with safety glasses in the shop. Bifocal safety glasses are a great idea, but I always hated that the reading glass portion of my other brands of bifocal safety glasses seem to take up so much of the upper part of the lens that I couldn't focus properly through the windowpane part of the lens. I seemed to always be consciously looking over the top of the bifocal portion of the lenses, and this effort to continuously focus and refocus was sometimes unsafe in some operations, and it often gave me a headache. At times like that, I wound back up in the mode of shuffling glasses off and on as needed, which tends to accumulate dust and scratches on the lenses and despite my interest in working safely, it sometimes can lead to performing some minor operations without eye protection. These glasses are a great compromise, because I can just put them on, nice and clean, as I walk through the door and leave them on at all times as I move around and work in the shop with normal vision. I can use the magnification when I need it. For full-time close work, I just wear reading glasses or magnification goggles.

Just what I needed. These work great. In the past I've worn drug store cheap reading glasses for close-up cabinet work. These glasses may be a bit off on the magnification scale. I think the 2X safety glasses are closer to 1.5X. So buy one step up if you aren't sure.

I've been a bit negligent in wearing my older safety goggles mainly because they are older plastic and not so clear. However since getting these Bifocal FastCap safety glasses I wear them almost all the time or have them on the bill of my cap. They are clear and the bifocal works just fine. I purchased two of these and put one by my "other" workbench. They're great and priced right.

Sooner or later, you will need...
Sooner or later, you will need some help with reading or viewing finer print. Recently I started to require a set of reading glasses. These safety glasses REALLY did the trick. In the past I avoided safety glasses over my prescription glasses, then I went through Lasix surgery which corrected my vision however I still required reading glasses not due to an error, but simply of age. I purchased one of these only to find out how comfortable they are to wear specially without prescription glasses in addition to their clarity and of course I can now easily read my markings, rulers, joints as well as everything else I was having difficulty viewing.A positive note is that they are so comfortable I use a neck strap that I use them all the time. I am very happy with these glasses, I have purchased a couple of extras for my military use as well as my other needs outside of the woodshop.BOHICA!!
