There are a few reasons for the clear lenses on both sides of the glass, there should be three clears in total, one on each side of the green glass and a third as a safety shield under the flip up lens, to guard against flying flux or scale when the lens is flipped up, so effectively to act as safety goggles or glasses when chipping slag, the lens on the front of green glass is to protect from spatter, and the clear lens on the back of the green lens protects the back of the green lens from spatter as well but primarily from impact as the green glass is very brittle and if the flipper is up and a large piece of flying debris from a grinder or a piece of large slag or chipping hammer fragment hits the lens from the back it will be easily broken.
Regards Rick, Laser eyes surgery, yes I'd definately give it a go if I was to end up with eyes that could shoot Laser beams, I mean how handy would that be?
Whatever it is, do it today, Tomorrow may not be an option and regret outlasts fatigue.

Most welding helmets have a recessed area behind (or in front of) the welding lens, underneath the protector sheet that the cheater fits into. So your "eyeglasses" are then a part of the welding helmet. So I assume the cheater lenses are helmet specific and not a standard size where one fits all. Is that correct? I'll have to check my helmet and see if it has the recess for the cheater lens. Ed

I think the 2X4 lens is pretty much the standard for modern helmets.
