Thanks for all the recommendations. I'll check them out later today when I get home.

I just use random cheap sunglasses that fit well. Should probably get some real safety glasses........

Not a good idea due to the lack of impact protection. Even though you're realistically not very likely to get something in the face that would shatter basic glasses while shooting, if it happens you'll be sorry.

I use the same glasses when riding, which is where you become much more aware of the need for impact resistance - you ever seen what a stray pebble will do to a windshield?

I wear my Oaks outside and ballistic tested "safety glasses" indoors. The Oaks have taken a few impacts from brass and shrapnel that saved my eyes, I wouldnt wear anything thats not at least tested with impact anymore

I have ray ban plastic aviators and they work fine. bring a towel if you sweat a lot lol

Look at Rudy Project and Oakleys.

I use a cheap pair of dark tinted DeWalt saftey glasses. They're polycarbonate, have decent grip, and really keep the sun at bay. Only thing is they're colored like a bumble bee, but for about ~15 bucks you can't have everything i guess...

I wear my prescription Oakley motorcycle full wraps. They are progressive, transitions, shatter and impact resistant. Only problem is indoor ranges when it gets stuffy they tend to build up a little moisture on the inside. Better with a little circulating air.

The wife and I both use ESS crossfit(?) which have the military ballistic rating. There's an excellent video from lucky gunner that demonstrates what can happen to regular glass or polycarbonate sunglasses.

You only have one pair of eyes. Protect them.

I was shooting last Saturday and saw shrapnel come back on a shooter who had put a shot up high and into the overhang.

That is why I won't wear anything else.

They weren't expensive either. They have rx inserts available too. The arms are designed very thin so that they fit under ear pro too. Very comfortable.

Happy shooting and be safe.

I either wear ESS (as the guy above) or my Wiley X AirRage. I have Clear, Copper or Tinted for the ESS. I wouldn't wear anything that wasn't ballistic rated.

I wear Oakley Jupiter Factory Lites outside and Holbrooks (w clear lens) inside.

Not fancy and not too expensive but I wear Typhoon Optics. They have worked well on the water when I go fishing and they are polarized too.

This is the one I currently have, http://www.typhoonoptics.com/typhoon/mariner.html

You can try this discount code. Friend of mine gave it to me awhile back and I've used it several times and it worked but haven't used it in the last year or so so I don't know if it's still valid or not.

I use Oakley Rx sunglasses as well as a set of Oakley Rx clear lenses for shooting indoors. I also always where a hat.

I read about someone who was shooting and a piece of brass went between his regular glasses and eye, the brass seared onto his eye ball, needed a bunch of surgeries to restore vision in that eye. A $200 pair of Rx glasses does not sound like much of a bad deal compared to that.

If you like aviators, getting cable temples and having an optical shop fit them will do wonders for making them stay put. I personally wouldn't wear aviators without at least putting on a pair of detachable side shields, which are pretty inexpensive and can come off when not needed.

I shoot at indoor ranges a lot, and more than once I've seen brass bounce off partitions and into the gaps at the top or side of regular eyeglasses. After seeing that a few times (typically followed by the howl when the hot brass gets stuck between the glasses and the cheek or eyelid) I always wear wrap-style glasses, preferably ones that fit close to the brow line.

Lately I have been using ESS Crossbows. I have a pair of the regular frames and a pair of the Suppressor frames that are designed to fit under ear pro. It's a convenient system since you can swap out lenses among the frames, but it does get bulky if you use them with the prescription insert.

I just got a set of Rudy Project glasses and really like them. they have transitions lens so they automatically darken in the sun and are clear indoors (don't need to worry about switching lens or having two pairs of glasses) especially since I have an Rx insert and it would be a pain to change lenses like ausala refered to.
