  • 12dollars?

    Does that take in to account the prize of the old classes? or the clue? or any of the other materials needed for this operation?

    • Yes,

      Yes, that depends on the value you assign to an old pair of prescription glasses. They may have cost a lot up front, but if you can't wear them because you moved on to a new prescription, then they really have no value anymore. I know people that just throw them away, or leave them with the optometrist. So you are actually recycling the lenses from a pair of glasses that no longer have any value.

      It just uses a little bit of glue, so that's just a few cents, and some people probably already have some epoxy lying around. And the small piece of sandpaper is worth no more then a penny. Therefore, the only material that you need to buy are the goggles.

  • Should do the trick

    I've never heard of prescription swimming goggles before. Never thought of it... So I suppose that for those concerned this video might be helpful.
    I don't quite get why the rating is currently at 2.93 after 2.300 visits. Probably some industry mogules at work. :-)
