Prescription goggles for $2.99

I think I first saw this on Instructables.com. Totally inspired by my blindness in the water (and my inability to wear contacts anymore, thanks to these weird bumps on my left eye), I dug through the bathroom cabinet to find my old glasses.

I popped out the lenses. I bought goggles on clearance.


I Dremel'd the lenses so they'd fit better on the goggle lenses. I bought some epoxy (my very first epoxy project ever -- and I learned a lot, like "Epoxy seeps, which will frack everything up"). If I had it to do over again, I'd have resigned myself to going really slowly with the epoxy, even if it took a few days. The end result looks a little sloppy, but they actually work really well!

At least so far as I can tell on land. I doubt I'll get in a pool again before next summer.
