You may have to glue the lenses on differently depending on whether they are very curved, or flat.

If the lenses are very curved, as shown by the clear goggles in the pictures below, then you should only apply glue at the edges where the lenses touch the goggle frames. This is the preferred method, because you don't have to worry about leaks.

If the lenses are flat, and they fully overlap the goggle frames, as shown by the pink goggles in the picture below, then you can apply glue all the way around. This is risky, because you may end up with leaks. I therefore highly recommend putting a temporary spacer between the lenses and the goggles to allow for a 1 to 2mm gap, and only applying glue to the edges, leaving a space at the top and bottom to allow water to flow through.
