Looking for a pair of Ballistic glasses that have a prescription, not the ones with the clip glasses like the ones that are issued at bootcamp. I ship out Sept. and would like a pair of SI Ballistic M Frame 3.0 with clear and dark lenses both would need prescription. Im looking at OakleySI and cant seem to find them. Maybe they dont exist? Better check for what is authorized before spending money on something you can't wear over there. Most units are going to require wear of approved model the meats mil spec test I'd think. For wrap around glasses with Rx inserts make sure you get the correct base curve and if you have a big head like mine ICE has a larger nose piece to set the frames furthar away so your eye lashes aren't right up against the inserts. |

The ballistic M-Frames are issued by many units, I can't imagine any unit saying it's unauthorized
On Oakley SI there is a tab on the left that says "prescription lenses". |

Belay my last.
Because of the type of lens having to withstand frag, you can't get the ballistics with prescription built in. You have to use the lens inserts. That's what I used on my deployments, they worked great. |

So all Ballistic glass with have to use inserts not built into the actual lens?
I would like a pair of quality ballistic glasses. Through Oakley SI I can get them at a discount so I might get them. Hoping i could take them and use them at basic but if i cant get a prescription built into the lenses i don't think they'll let me. Anyone know if I can wear either Tan or MultiCam SI M Frame 3.0 at Basic Training? |

Is 31B Military Police (Current MOS) or 31K Military Working Dog Handler restricted from getting Lasik? If it is id rather not get it and just deal with glasses, if not ill probaby get it after BCT/AIT. My eyes arent bad but they do need glasses. I cant read writing 10 feet or further. Driving without glasses is possible but not advised.
I think im just going to wait until i get back from Training and get to my unit to buy any Oakleys or anything. What is PRK? |

PRK is a different type of laser surgery that is more accepted by the military and a procedure you can apply for while you're in.

Yes they do ill see if i can find the pair i got right before my ets As far as the lasik thing goes wait till you hit your unit and then hound tem till they get you on the list at ft hood they offered lasik prk and something called icl but priority is givin to combat mos and deploying units so if your gonna be an mp prepare to wait that is if you get it signed off on i put in for it three times and got screwed everytime |

Also if you get laser survey before hand it can disqualify you from entering the military and requires a waiver.
