My wife handed me these and said what are they. I have no idea so I am leaving it to you guys. My guess is some kind of special children glasses. on one side of the nose piece it has Wide B&L stamp on it and the other side has central
I believe these were industrial safety glasses.
Not for children-- I know these well.
They are prescription glasses for wear with a military protective mask. A real pain to wear for any extended time, as they never seemed to sit correctly after a quick mask don.

Thanks Scott that helps a lot! Can you date them.
I wore the same type in the 1990s-- not sure how long they had been around. Now they are plastic.
Forgot the exact name in my first post, but they are called "optical inserts".

I sent the image to my son who is in the army. They should have a nomenclature number on them if they are military. If anyone knows please post it. My son collects older military items and I would like to pass it along. I never saw these except in industrial settings.
Here is a pair with original box:
