Rx Shooting Glasses

[AACo]

Hey All,

Anyone here know of a good place to get prescription shooting glasses? Primary use would be for clays. I was looking for Randolph Rangers, but dealers are few and far between. Contacted one and never got a response. I would like to try them on for size before making the $400 plunge.

I'm tired of blury targets!

There have been several other threads with this question and someone will eventually come along and mention Eyeballs in Damascus.

Late last year I ended up going there to get some prescription shooting glasses. It also helped that she is about a mile away from my house.

Lyn did a great job with helping me to find frames and tweaking the prescription to match my needs for style of shooting (mostly rifle and High Power matches.) They were not cheap, but they have worked out great for the past 4-5 months. I highly recommend her!

Thanks for the reccomendation!

I've been mobile today, so didn't use the search feature. I will have to check out the other threads when I get back home.

A couple of years ago I got prescription sunglasses from Simplyeyeglasses.com and they have been pretty good. They are wrap around Ray Bans.

I think they have protective glasses as well and can choose the tint if needed.

They ended up being about $200 all said and done with prescription lenses. I'm sure you could get a better pair from an eye doctor but mine have worked pretty well for everything from driving to shooting. It's an easy process just measure your current frames for size and type in your prescription once you pick your glasses out.

If you happen to have LEO/mil or related type of occupation, Oakley Standard Issue provides heavily discounted rX optics. Best part is you'll have plenty of frames and type of lens and colors to choose from.

My Rx recently changed on my regular glasses and I went to Eyeballs to get new lenses in my old frames.

Your friendly MDS YouTube crew has you covered

Tactical RX glasses are pretty bad ass. They took a 12 ga load of buck shot at 10 yards

Oh also, Chevellnut and I each have a pair coming for us to use, but better yet we have pair being sent for testing

We'll see how many shots they can endure

Does anyone use upside down bifocals for shooting?

 

[JMintzer]

I got mine here: http://www.morganoptical.net/

Mine have a very mild Rx on top, but have bifocals in the bottom, so I can see my phone, the #s on the shells, etc, up close...

He was very professional and well versed in shooting...

Take a look at adlens focuss.

They are variable focus lenses you can adjust for close range vision up to infinity. They can completely replace bifocals for everyday wear.

Best of all, you can adjust them so your dominant eye is sharply focused on the front sight while your other eye is set to focus on the target. Your brain will quickly get used to the dual focus and you *can* see both with equal clarity, something a shooter with normal vision cannot do.

Mine are bifocals

Mike Renard was a pleasure to work with and he walked me thru the whole process. I got measured up at my local eye place, then sent my prescription and measurements to him. Great products and service and I couldn't be happier. He's worth a phone call for sure.

I can second this recommendation. Great company to deal with:

I just ordered my shooting prescription with a yellow tint from Zenni on line. I think they were $14.95.

Check out Liquid Eyewear. I have the Player glasses with the Hellfire lenses that go from almost clear to fairly dark. I like them because they work in all lighting conditions. They can do prescription glasses with anything they sell.

Actually I think it includes any government employee, not just LEO/mil. Or at least their non-RX stuff was like that up to a few years ago when I last checked.

They list mil, LEO and first responder, but AFAIK all they require is a .gov or .mil email address and you can register. For local/state you have to have an ID

check out decot.com. they're big on safety glasses for shooting and do prescriptions. upon recommendations, i just got a pair of their glasses (no prescription as i wear contacts) but haven't had a chance to try them out yet.
