Basically it's a diopter (correction) plate that fits (inside ?) the helmet - they are available in incremental correction amounts (+1.0, etc.)

Here's a photo of the lens and case it came in...

And an attempt at a close up of the text...

These come in various focal powers, like reading glasses, but must be designed to be placed some distance from the eyes, rather than close like reading glasses would be.

Don't know the cost as mine was given to me. I am pretty sure they are fairly inexpensive though...

Re: WELDERS HELMET

I have seen the "cheater" lens, just haven't picked one up to try. The one I saw was only around $10. /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Re: WELDERS HELMET

Interesting stuff Henro. Gotta be a real help to folks like us that need a little vision boost when welding, and who knows it just may keep my nose out of the puddle too.

Thanks for sharing
