Hi,

I have an old EDGE mask with lenses fitted. It's basically "plain" glass in the top part, then a +2.0 in the reading glass area.

Is it possible to unglue these things from the mask and put them in a new mask?

Thanks!

Are they glued in? If all you need is a little magnification you can get the plastic +2 diopters and they just install by wetting and letting them dry. If you have those they just peel out and they can be installed in a new mask. If you sent it off they are probably bonded and can't be moved. If you buy the same mask you can probably move the whole lens. The plastic inserts are about $30 bucks and if you can't find a solution for less than that, I'd just get a set. I love them and have moved them around without issues. Good luck and pm me if you need more info.
