It's time to update the prescription of my corrective lenses and I've decided to invest in a pair of ballistic-rated (ANSI Z87) lenses and frames. I'm still only wearing single-vision (not progressive or bi-focal) lenses. I'd like a pair that could be worn everyday but will also work well for gun games and hunting. A quick Google search came up with a lot of options for brands, styles and features. So, what are you wearing and what, if anything, would you change about them? Thanks, AT7WE2 |

Thanks for the reply. I'm still trying to figure out what to buy. Lots of options. Looking to spend less than $400. Was hoping to find something with transition lenses so I could shoot with the same pair indoors and outdoors but not sure if that's a realistic expectation. |

I have a pair of Wiley X glasses with transition lenses. |

Very timely topic! I just won a $400 gift certificate for Hunters Gold at the state cowboy match. I had lasik 18 years ago and my distance vision is pretty close to the 20/20. I wear +1.5 cheap readers when doing something like reading or working on the computer, or basically for any table/bench activity. I shoot the cowboy action with the cheap +0.5 diopter shooting glasses from Amazon. Now I have an opportunity to get a proper setup. Have vision test scheduled for today and will ask for a bifocal prescription. I think Hunters Gold can do a bifocal or bifocal reversed, but I am not sure if that's the best way for shooting? Maybe I should go for a mono setup? What's the best way to get shooting glasses for a far sighted person? |
