Default Shooting Glasses

Anyone have a recommendation for shooting glasses?

The option to have prescription lenses ground for them would be nice, but isn't required. Also, interchangeable lenses would be good too.

Thx

What exactly do you mean by that? My situation is that I'm near sighted, so the front sight on my pistol is blurry, the rear sight and target are OK. but the front sight of my pistol blurrs. Which is at about a fully extended arms lenght, things fall off for me. Although most optometrics will tell you they can correct that, I wouldn't believe them as they are trying to sell you yellow colored lenses because. There is an actucal optometrist here on AO who deals with that sort of shooter issues. His name is opto55, check him out.

Two options IMO
#1 clip ons for prescription lenses
#2 Good quality safety glasses while wearing contacts
Option 1 works for us that need bi-focals and option 2 works great up until you can't see far (or near) with single lenses
If your still lucky enough to use single lenses ask for glass not poly lenses the clarity is vastly superior and only marginally more expensive
