This info can be found from these forums by search. It was few years back when this same topic was discussed.

The lenses themselves are bloody expensive. No way around that. Then you've gotta remember you'll duff a few pairs. Ask Kerian or Eric, it's not a trivial process.

If I can remember right Edmund Optics has all kind of lenses incl lenses which works as a fluid goggles. And they are not quite expensive as well as they are pretty easy to install in the swimming goggles (inside). Sorry Eric to spoiling a bit of your business

cheers,
