Prescription shooting glasses

Recommended Posts

Oakley has some good models that they can make prescriptions in..various color lenses too..plus the lenses are impact rated..if you go on their website I think they can tell you the closest dealers. I have several pairs that I wear daily..highly recommended

I use ESS ICE glasses with a prescription insert. My optician (Lawrenceville Opticians - tell Jim that Bob sent you) made up the lenses for the inserts. I normally wear progressives, but we made the inserts up in my distance prescription, since that is what allowed me to focus on the front sight (YMMV). It was far less expensive that way and the only drawback is that I can't read the stage descriptions at a match.

 

Two pairs of glasses (dark lens and clear) on Ebay for $30. Insert on Ebay for $15. Prescription lenses fitted to insert $125.

 

Good luck.

 

Adios,

I use Decot sport glasses at sportglasses.com

I did not like the idea of using inserts

I use these as well. Very happy with them. I have two sets of lenses, a light color for indoors and darker for out doors. Lens change is a snap.

 

Just gave them my prescription along with pupillary distance.

I searched, anybody have a place to get prescription shooting glasses for Mrs. Zeke?

 

Zenni Optical has their "Goggle" line..the only problem is that if you have a heavy astigmatism the angle of the lenses can be a little distorting... Oakley, and revision eyewear also both have inserts for their glasses/goggles. Revision has a 30% off code of you're an AR15.com member

I have the ESS Ice glasses with prescription inserts. ESS will now cut your prescription too if you order direct from them. This topic was discussed in another thread in the beginning of November. Here is the link:

I own a pair and they work well. You can get a cheaper version off Amazon for like $8.

 

Don't rely on just your regular perscription glasses for eye protection. I made that mistake

and have had debris somehow find it's way around the lens and into my eye. Nothing serious

but it could have been.

I have been shoooting a lot of clays and have been looking into getting a set of Ranger's. I am in the process of looking at them now.

 

I need a distance prescription for clays but need nothing for handgun. I plan on ordering multiple sets of lens.

    • If you’re going to VA, buy 2 radios.  Program one for here and one for there.  If you guys are buying Baofeng radios do yourself a favor and get a tactical antenna for it,it’ll extend your reach.
    • Both our memories are a bit lacking. 3 bystanders were hit by NYPD bullets and 6 were hit by fragments at the Empire State Building shooting. The bullets later were determined to have passed through the bad guy as I said. He was not a big guy. The police fired 16 rds and 7 hit the bad guy.  Spray and pray?  I think not.  These officers fired until the threat was stopped and everyone is moving. Have you ever tried to hit a moving target whilst you're moving.  If you watch the video from where the police encounter him, the BG draws his gun from his bag, NYPD guys shoot, and the BG hit the ground is about 2 or 3 seconds.  The closest officer is maybe 12 feet or less.  The closest cover are those concrete flower pots.  If the officers chose to take cover before drawing the BG would have had a chance to shoot at least one officer. Know your target and beyond?  Agree 100%.  However, this by the Empire State Building at 9 am during the week.  There are bystanders and traffic in every direction.  The officers had a choice of doing what they did or letting the BG shoot them with his 1911 and shoot someone else. I think they made the right choice and the same one I would have made.  The officers exercised the best option in protecting themselves and the public. The first video is the police shooting.  The second is more detailed and gives you a lot of background information on the shooter. One thing this shows is if NYPD had to use fmj undoubtedly more bystanders would have been wounded perhaps killed.  NJ's hollowpoint law. only creates more danger to the public.
