A set of german motorcycle goggles I converted to prescription to allow me to use them. These will be great for any steampunk costume, or even for when I get that motorized bike conversion kit I want

this was simple as can be as you might guess.

I got a set of lenses that almost fit the goggles, then cut away the frames to fit the goggles. I'm using hot glue to keep them in place

The cool thing about this project is I used Zenni Optical for the lenses. Zenni optical is a website that allows you to upload your prescription and order glasses for very cheap. My current glasses only cost me 40 dollars, and they only cost that much because I choose a lens upgrade.

the ones used in the goggles cost me 12 bucks... thats 12 dollars for the frames and choosing the basic grade prescription lens which is free.

So if you have bad eyes like me I recommend using this site prices start at 7 bucks and at that price you could afford to build the lenses into any piece rather then having to building around a set of eye wear

hell even if your not into costuming you can get a great set of glasses for a great price here

Looks good. And better yet, you can see. I wear glasses too and a place like Zenni sounds like a good idea. I usually get my stuff locally. But if they have tinted lenses, I could use some low-priced sunglasses. I'll book mark 'em for when I have some spare dough to roll out. Thanks.

My mom says I look like a Despicable me Minon

yeah you can get the lenses tinted. heck my step dad got his bifocals with the type that changes tint in sun.

those do cost more but its still way cheaper then you can get almost anywhere else
