Prescription shooting glasses

Post by **jackalo626** » Wed Sep 12, 2012 11:47 pm

Anybody here wear prescription shooting glasses and if so where did you get them. I have looked online but there are many choices. If not best place to go then at least which place or brand to avoid. Prices etc...

Lens crafters raped me for $600 on my Oakley's so shop around.

Contacts will be way mo better and consistent. its my understanding that as glasses slide down your nose the prescription changes due to the curve of the lens you are looking through changing.

Contact lenses are not even an option imo. They fall out easily and irritate eyes plus require maintenance when glasses are more durable, easy. and protect all in one. I want maybe Wiley X or ESS, Oakley maybe for my first pair. Still deciding.

ESS ICE and separate Rx insert. Available at Optics Planet and other places. Should cost you about $90 plus whatever it costs to get the lenses to match your prescription. I'll let you know how it goes as I am in the process of going this route.

Thanks, very interested in how it goes.

I personally hate inserts. Debris/water/sweat gets between them, they can fog up, and they just make my head hurt. Try them before you drop your coin on them.

Sorry forgot about this
Regular frame and safety lens
Have the Opitction(sp) the guy that grinds lens/makes glasses to move optical center higher on a pair of glasses

I asked and the guy at Fern Creek said sure he could do that after I talked to him about it.
He was the one that said move OC higher after I said I look thourgh iorn sights.

and there is a reason we called them "birth control glasses"

cause no chick is coming near you wearing those.
