I also used those $#%*+$ optical inserts. The biggest problem was that 
even with the antifog
cleaners they still fogged up or started dripping after you wore the 
mask for a time. I was cleaning
out a box of stuff 2 years ago and finally got around to throwing them
away.

As a side light after 40 years of using glasses (my eyesight was 20 by 
200) I got Lasik Eye Surgery
last year and am now able to see distances without glasses. I could 
never stand contacts but for
about 15 minutes of discomfort it was worth it. The only scary part is 
that when almost done with
the surgery I smelled something burning and it was me.
