For those that wear Rx glasses, how do you manuever your safety glasses around your Rx glasses?

I always find it to be mushing into my nose / eyes with safey glasses over RX glasses, and then ear-muffs. Even with surefire ear pro in.

Is there any quality eye-wear out there dedicated to people that wear glasses?

I can't shoot without them on, can't even see the damn front sight.

the local ranges around here let you shoot with you just your Rx glasses on. the glass on the lens of your Rx glasses is alot stronger than the plastic ones that people wear and it should be sufficient.

I just wear my Rx glasses.

 

[MinervaDoe]

I always get prescription glasses with polycarbonate lenses (the preferred material for safety glasses).

I did just that, until I had a hot casing go down inbetween my glasses and get stuck horizontally between the lens and little bag under your eye. The primer was facing outward, and the rim of the case singed a little ring under my eyeball...

I have a pair of frameless glasses, no matter how far I push them to my nose, there is wiggle room for a casing.

Baseball hat?

I had some wrap around prescription Rec Spec glasses made. One set clear and one tinted. They are great.

trust me that happens with shooting glasses as well.

Baseball hat might work but not always. If you wear the BB hat, make sure its pulled down low. Don't give that hot brass a hole to wiggle through.

Case in point, my BB hat didn't stop the empty casing that my Dad's rifle threw at me one day. I had a nice little burn on my left cornea and some swelling from that little incident.

Always keep a bottle of water with you at the range, since you never know when you may need to flush your eye out!

These days, I just try to position myself on the left side when shooting with friends or family.

If you want to wear your Rx glasses you can usually get some free or cheap side shields from your eye doctor.

Good luck

I don't like wearing a hat with my hearing protectors on.
After a few hundred hot casings get stuck behind your glasses, you hardly even notice it anymore. I'd suggest more practice. :supergrin:

Get a pair of Decots.

I only wear my Rx glasses. They're made of polycarbonate. I don't know of any prescription eyeglass makers/vendors that produce 'glass' lenses, any longer.

As for hot brass landing behind eyeglasses, as others have suggested, wear a baseball cap.

Now, have you ever had a hot piece of '06 brass eject from an M1 Garand and hit your head, then go down the back of your neck, into your shirt!?!!?!

Had a set of prescription lenses made the snap into Oakley sunglass frames.

 

[Eyeguy]

Have you tried safety glasses made to go over your rx?

Not cheap, but you'll get what you pay for.

The idea of wearing "safety glasses" over prescription, goes back to the days when eye glasses were made out of glass.

MOST modern eyeglasses are made of polycarbonate or safety glass themselves and therefor serve the intended purpose.

In my area, ranges that require protection, accept eye glasses as adaquate.

The plastic they make prescription lenses out of isn't necessariyl impact resistant polycarbonate unless you specify that and pay for it when you have them made. Prescription glasses are made to be light weight, scratch resistant, attractive and for optical quality. They also don't have anywhere near the coverage that safety glasses do, hence all the references to brass behind the glasses.

Do you really want this

to be the only thing protecting you from this?

Look at the difference in coverage:
