Ok I am not blind but I am getting older. Not that I am that old but old enough to have reading glasses in the shop in order to see the small things easier:(  I really don’t mind wearing the glasses so much as having to swap out to the safety glasses on a regular basis or worst yet leaving the cheap reading glasses on in lieu of the safety glasses.

As of now this has all changed! During a recent trip to my local Louis and Company I noticed the “Cateyes” by FastCap and thought these were for me!! Wow what a concept safety glasses with small magnifiers in them (safety glasses with bi focals) LOL.  Now these aren’t prescription safety glasses but they do get the job done.  Yes, it does take a couple minutes to adjust to the bifocal type area but in no time you don’t even realize they are there!  They come in various magnification powers from 1.5 to 3.0 and the best part is they run about $6.99 a pair.  So far I have found them to be pretty comfortable and the 1.5 power just right for me.  So if you too have a slight visual impairment like myself I would definitely recommend checking a pair of these out.

  1. I have a pair of FastCap Cateyes 1.5 magnification in my shop. I find them indispensable for detail work and machine set-up.
