Expert fettlers and or engineers - your help is needed

Why didn't you go for a frame that takes optical inserts, the inserts can take a higher prescription as they don't curve so much.

Paper clips equalled this ( my rx glasses are behind )

I don't think I'd be 100% confident in bodge jobs and a crash. Have you ever tried contacts? a safer alternative IMO

The issue is I'm blind and can't use them without my prescription

sorry but why do you say you are blind? Even at -10 you would not be considered blind???

My glasses have always been shatterproof, reasonable chance gb's are as well. If not shouldn't wear them in any circumstance where they could be broken including cycling.

I've considered taking just the lenses out of an old pair and using a minute amount of adhesive just at the edge to fix just them into sports glasses. The drawback is that I seem to scratch sports glasses quickly and would have a problem reusing the lenses

I cycle way too much to be "actually blind" LOL

How about a little silicon sealant

 

[Davidc]

Might work, hadn't thought of that - more of glue.

It has to be just enough to hld them without being annoying in view.

What about putting the glue around the bridge area.

A high modulus silicone sealant would be good. High modulus=quite hard, but still flexible. Dow Corning 781 is amazing stuff. I've made chemical tanks out of sheet glass held together by it with no frame at all.
