Cheater Lens for HF Auto Helmet

[Tritium]

Does anyone know where to get a cheater lens that will fit a Harbor Freight Auto Darkening Helmet? I am having trouble seeing through my bifocals when welding so Its time for some built in magnification.

They are all pretty much universal but I do not think the HF helmet has a receptical for them, but you can super glue one in as I did in mine

You get them at your local welding supply store

Thanks Charlie, I will have a look next time I visit Airgas (80 miles away is as local as it gets here).

I use a bifocal safety glass under the hood this way I can focus farther away if I have to because I still wear contacts under the hood.

That is what I have switched to. The bifocal zone on the safety glasses is a bit higher than my regular bifocals so I don't have the issue of "missing the zone" as much during welding.
