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.

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?

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.

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

Guess I'll put a roll of .030 on my list for my next trip to town (in NS, the land of you can't get it here)

Its like stick electrodes going from 3/32 to 1/8, not much difference in size but a different beast when welding them...Bob

I agree about the sticks Bob. But I found fault with the math in the first quote. I believe the dummy meant 20% increase not 25%.
(Hey, I was/am that dummy!)
