Re: inexpensive fluid goggles??

The lenses themselves are bloody expensive. No way around that. Then you've gotta remember you'll duff a few pairs. Ask Kerian or Eric, it's not a trivial process.

If I can remember right Edmund Optics has all kind of lenses incl lenses which works as a fluid goggles. And they are not quite expensive as well as they are pretty easy to install in the swimming goggles (inside). Sorry Eric to spoiling a bit of your business

cheers,
