Where can I buy a kit to turn loose lenses into a clip-on for my glasses?

I have looked all over the web, but I have not found anything. I have welder's glasses that I have been using, but I have to wear my contacts under them. I hate wearing contacts it is ruining my productivity. I would like to turn the lenses for them into clip ons for my prescription safety glasses, instead of spending $300 for prescription welder's glasses. Plus the clipons would be more convenient, because I could flip them up to look at things that are often in shadows. Dont even mention "fit-overs" they look uncomfortable and they would probably not fit over my prescription safety glasses

What is wrong with my eyeball, and do I need to see a doctor?!

So I have been wearing my contacts for weeks at a time, I would wear them for a school week then usually take them out at night on the weekends. Lately at night my visions gets very blurry with and without contacts in, and I discovered that I have these round circular ridges where my contacts lens would be. Is this normal? Am I going blind? Help.

Is it normal for contact lenses to burn for a few minutes when i first put them in?

I just got contacts yesterday, and when I was practicing putting them in, it burned on both eyes. I had to close my eye and the doctor said to lightly tap on my top eyelid. After about 2-3 minutes the burning went away. I decided to practice at home today and it still was burning for a few mins, but the burning went away. Is this normal for a first time contact user?

How to form a 'response' to an artist's work in AS-level photography?

How to form a 'response' to an artist's work in AS-level photography?
Added (1). From what I understand, it is a personal interpretation of a photographer's work, however, I have to write one tonight and I'm not entirely sure how to do so.
I know it is short - 100 words (ish), and it involves a brief synopsis of the photography itself as well as your own personal feelings/reaction towards it.
But how do I do that, what should it involve, etc?

Contact lenses and astigmatism? - 1

Now, I was told by my optometrist a long time ago, that if you wear contacts that they don't correct for astigmatism, like eyeglasses can. I don't wear contacts right now, but was thinking about going to them at some point, and I do have an astigmatism in my eyes. Recently, I started seeing some contact lenses being advertised as specifically for astigmatism. Brands such as Acuvue Oasys brand, or Air Optix for Astigmatism, etc. Was my optometrist wrong? Or are these new developments in contacts, that he may not have known about? Or is this just some kind of marketing gimmick by the contact lens companies?

Glasses over contacts?

So I wear night contacts. Basically at night I wear them and next morning I see clearly. Thing is, they arent always that clear bcuz I get random amounts of sleep everynight, insomnia. So I got glasses too. When I got tested, I forgot to mention that the night before, I wore contacts so the prescription could have been off. I dont know. But I just got my new glasses and they work well.

Question is, can I wear glasses if the night before I wore contacts?

Would the prescription technically work since I tested with them "on"?

Is this bad for my eyes? I hear glasses make ur eyes worse, and lens make them slowly better. What happens then? When I wear lens, my prescription doesnt get deeper. But can glasses change that?

Thanks.
