I want to get.the wife a pair of prescription shooting glasses. She says the glasses have to look good and she wants a aviator style of glasses. I told her that I don't think they make any shooting glasses in that style. Is there anything out there for women that is somewhat similar to.an aviatior style of shooting glasses? Also what shooting glasses do you ladies run? Maybe she will see something she likes and will change her mind.

I wear my normal day to day glasses when shooting.  They have Transitions lenses that are the really strong polycarbonate lenses that are even stronger than most of the off the shelf shooting glasses sold.

I would suggest going back to where she got her glasses, they can probably find a style that would work for her and use the high strength lenses.  That's all I can think of.

Wiley X can do prescription for some of their ballistic lenses

Oakely has good looking prescription glasses in their .mil purchase program. Prices are good.

yes,Also what shooting glasses do you ladies run? Maybe she will see something she likes and will change her mind. thanks

The wife unit has taken a look at all the Oakley and wileyx glasses both men's and women's and doesn't like the designs. Any other ideas would be good. Pics/links  of glasses would be good as well

Addidas has a line of prescription glasses in both wrap around and aviator styles. The wife and I both have a pair and love them. They have the same scrip all the way across the lense witch I guess is a fairly new development for wrap around type sunglasses

I really like the wrap around style (more for utility than looks) they are great for shooting prone. With regular style glasses I always seem to be looking at the frame when I flop down into prone.

Could you post a link or provide name/model of the glasses you're referring to?

I have a pair of the advistas, I’m not sure the name of my wife’s but they are very similar. The cool thing about mine is that I can swap out lenses in about 3 seconds, switch from clear, to polarized sunglasses and even yellow to fit my environment. I can even wear them at work as my safety glasses with the clear lenses in. I would check for eye doctors in your area that carry them, my local one has pretty good selection of them to try on.

Adidas's site has about a thousand different varieties, colors, sizes..... She should be able to find something that fits her needs and style. Look for styles that offer the "direct frame glazing" having the same scrip across the whole lens is awesome, closest thing to not wearing glasses you can get.  I've also noticed the technology helps with my red dots blooming; it doesn’t stop it completely but seems to knock it in half as compared to my regular glasses.

I'll go back to recommending the wrap around, they offer more protection, and offer a wider view for transitioning between targets and prone.

Thanks pdm and sdc
