I'd be mostly shooting pistol, but would like to eventually expand to multi-gun. I don't need bifocals, I only need to see distance. I have a pretty recent prescription. I might try out the optical one, since it's near my area. Do they order the frames or only the lenses?
That's what my prescription glasses look like from Optical One. They are actually "safety" glasses, they are comfortable, can be tinted, and has a foam lining on the top (can be taken on/off) that keeps it comfortable, yet keeps brass from burning my face.
I burned my nose bridge shooting with standard glasses before, and since then I bought these to prevent any issues.
What is the name of those frames, I'm using Decot and may want to have a couple of new pairs made, one reverse bifocal and another with my right eye set for front sight and left my normal bifocal.
I recently bought WileyX prescription glasses. Dominate eye set for front sight, non dominate for distance. I don't wear glasses all the time but do need mild 1.25 cheaters for reading and computer work. I went to the WileyX web site and found a local optometrist who was a provider. They did my prescription and order.
I like my glasses, but I would not order this style again. I believe that some like Rudy Project allow you to change the prescription without buying a whole new set of glasses, and/or change the outer non-Rx lenses for lighting changes, etc.
The place that Noob recommended is a Wiley x dealer, you're saying to be careful about the frame choice?
He also carries Oakley. Tell them Stephen sent ya, couldn't hurt....
Is it the same guy at Gretna as Kenner location?
I did see that website but it is expensive. But they seem to have lots of options, too.http://www.tacticalrx.com/about-tactical-rx/
I used this company and was very pleased. They are not cheap but great quality.
For older guys they offer bifocals in the top of the lenses so you can look through the top of the lenses to focus on the front sight of a pistol.
They send you frames to try and samples of lenses with instructions on how to measure them. My local eye dr doesn't offer shooting glasses so they helped me get the correct measurements.
I got a frame that is rated ANSI Z87.1+ and has an interchangeable lenses system.
