Prescription Shooting Glasses/Goggles?

[dwtt]

ESS makes the ICE series which have an Rx option:

I second the ESS for handgun shooting. The ones with prescription insert doesn't distort the peripheral vision as much as some other brands of "sport" glasses like a pair of Bolle I got for riding. For rifle or shotgun shooting, the ESS and the other sport glasses don't work very well because you'll be looking over the top of the glasses in order to get a good cheek weld.

Rudy project and wiley-x are some of the better brands to go with for shooting glasses. First thing you can do is talk to your doctor specifically on the phone before you go in. Let him/her know what you're specifically trying to accomplish and they'll more than likely be a lot more helpful to you if they understand the concepts you're dealing with. I work with optometrists and am an licensed optician and have helped dozens of people with very specific shooting needs. If you need any info, PM me about options, but in general, as mentioned above the fundamentals are: (and in order)

Polycarbonate z87.1 safety approved lenses
coverage
sight distance(s) depending on multi-focal needs
tint.

Some love yellow or amber tints to shoot with or even rose and almost red colors. You're on the right path but if you're in need of a bifocal and need an intermediate area to see your front sight while shooting irons, then you're going to need to talk to your doc about bringing your gun in to measure the exact distance or measure it yourself by holding it comfortably as you would, and measure it from front sight to 1" in front of your eye. This will be the proper distance to accomodate an intermediate bifocal for pistol shooting. Good luck and shoot me any questions you may have.

+1 on the Rudy Projects. I have the RB3s, which I originally got for cycling, but they're perfect for shooting as well.

The prescription lenses are an insert that's attached to the frame. Then over that, there's a flip-up that holds the outer protective lenses. The outer lenses can be sunglasses, clear, yellow, etc. and they interchange easily.

I got them online a few years ago. Had to fax my lens prescription in to the website operators.

They aren't cheap, but they are very durable and Rudy Project has a guarantee program where if you scratch your lenses, they'll replace them for $25 or so.

One of the benefits of the kind that JF99 said is that if the glasses get dinged up from debris, ejected shells, or other stuff, you can keep your RX and replace just the frames which aren't too much usually. Around 80-150 depending on what you like.
