Here is the finished product. I just finished playing for maybe 2 hours and they are great. In fact better then great I haven't seen the balls so well in years. It is like I am not wearing glasses at all. I feel completely natural no matter how I get down on the ball or reaching, anything it all feels normal. My wife even commented I look like I used to not all contorted in the neck trying to see through my regular glasses. The guy who owns the eye glass place is a friend of mine and while I was there he looked up billiard glasses and got on the place I think in Canada. He told me if I wanted something like that he can make them up no problem. He examined them closely and told me they are just half frames that are frameless on the top and they have put in full size lenses. He said he could make up glasses like that for under a $100.00.

The thing is, we both liked what I had made better. When he examined me leaning on his table like a pool table I was seeing perfectly through the lenses and not at an angle. So I got them made, what I thought as a prototype but I am happy with them so much they are a done deal. The frames are titanium, (Thrift store $2.00) and the lenses are light Polycarbonate. I didn't measure the bends in the ear pieces I just did them trial and error with some jewelers tools; same with the extending on the nose pieces. They weigh a total of 17 grams. I am really happy.
